5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book from start to finish, August 30, 1998

By A Customer

As a recent newcomer to welding, I have discovered this book has taught me a lot of valuable information about the various techniques of the art of welding. The information supplied is well thought out and, combined with useful charts, facts and figures, this book is good enough for the would-be professional and home welder (or weldor!). Read the book to understand.

2.0 out of 5 stars far too general, September 10, 2008

By	Andrew O. Endert - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Welder's Handbook, RevisedHP1513: A Guide to Plasma Cutting, Oxyacetylene, ARC, MIG and TIG Welding (Paperback)

this book is only good for a general overview of various processes and techniques. none of the articles are very in depth and all the illustrations and photos is printed in black and white. its a decent review for an experienced welder. if you are serious about welding get an all inclusive in depth text book like Welding Principles and Applications. it will cost you but you will not be diappointed. try to find a used or older edition, the 6th edition is the latest.
