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.

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!

Not Great December 18, 2005
Format:Hardcover
Let me say that the book is okay, nothing wrong with the book. But here is my question: What is the purpose of the book, the exact purpose?? I work around tools and shops so when I see a book for $110. I think it must have something new. It does not, and it is at a level where it does not really have enough information to help. It is sort of am overview with pictures and some drawings. Coffee table book on machines - so to speak.

I would recommend forgetting about this book and buy some regular shop manuals or shop guides from a tool supplier. There are a number of one and two volume sets that give a lot more useful information, and very detailed information. Maybe this is for high school students, but not for professional shops.

Sorry but that is my humle opinion. I have the book and it collects dust. My recommendation: check out MACHINERY'S HANDBOOK also on amazon.com.
