5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent book for beginners and novices,
By cg (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technology of Machine Tools (Hardcover)
I have the older version of this book, which was supplied to me when I took a machinist pre-apprenticeship course, and I am about to buy this newer version.The book is not too wordy, making it easy to understand the basic concepts of machining and the terminology that goes along. It also clearly explains how to use lathes, milling machines, measuring equipment and other basic machine shop equipment. I have not yet read the newer version, but the older book was a little bit lacking in the use of more complicated machines such as horizontal and vertical boring machines, which an advanced user might be interested in. Also there was only one chapter on cnc machines, which did not go into any great depth.

Excellent machining text book at a great price,

This review is from: Technology of Machine Tools (Hardcover)
I had this book referred to me by a friend who is a machinist. There is a newer edition out there, but I didn't see the point when this book was less than $6. It covers all the aspects of machining you will need to know and has great charts for feeds and speeds. It covers machines from hand tools and older lathes on to CNC machines and how to use optical flats to measure to the 1/1,000,000 of an inch. Absolutely a great book for any beginning machinist or anyone that wants to know the correct way to tinker in their home shop to stop ruining your bits and tools. Instead of making a bunch of mistakes on your own projects and learning from them, just read this book!

Learn your way around the machine shop through this interactive workbook. Plenty of information on the different kinds of drill bits, calculations and all the other things people in the machine shop might not want to teach you. YOUR PAY-RAISE STARTS HERE!
