2.0 out of 5 stars A survey of milling - not a how-to book, March 27, 2006

This review is from: Vertical Milling in the Home Workshop (Paperback)

I was expecting a hands-on tutorial on the use of a vertical milling machine. Instead all I got was a nice novel complete with detailed photographs of the author's accomplishments. He is accomplished, he just doesn't tell us how he did any of it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful little book, September 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Vertical Milling in the Home Workshop (Paperback)

Focused mainly on English table-top mills, and their use in making model engines, this book is a tad parochial. However, it will help the novice machinist learn about milling procedures and how to set up jobs. Particularly useful is a table of RPM recommended for different cutters on different materials. I think author's coments about milling machines willhelp the novice with the selection of a machine - what to look for. I personally found it very helpful - I am just learning how to use my Clausing mill and this book will help.
