5.0 out of 5 stars
Good reference book.,
By "gonzo_442" (CHERRYVILLE, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Welding Manual (Haynes Manuals) (Paperback)
Like the rest of Haynes' manuals, concise and to the point. Well written and good layout as well. As noted above by others, it's divided off into chapters each covers first the history and theory behind the various types of welding, and then a general walk-through of the use. It covers the basics from someone who's walking into welding cold (er, bad pun, sorry) not necessarily a handbook for a welding student. In its defense, this is admitted within its pages. Still i found it to be a useful addition to my shop library. It was interesting reading, as well as a good primer for someone who is looking into starting up a welding rig. If you think you're ready to buy your first welder, i recommend you take a look at this. Well worth the couple of bucks. One last point, as with all technical books, keep an eye out for the newest editions. Advancements are always making tech manuals slightly out of date. Not a real big concern as far as welding, but something to keep an eye on.

Looking for something more...,
This review is from: Welding Manual (Haynes Manuals) (Paperback)
Guess I am cynical. I just got through writing a review of Finch's welding manual and I still don't have anything great to say about the Haynes Manual.The Haynes manual is probably better than the Finch book. It gets into a little more detail with the processes and provides useful insight into thing. Shows defective welds etc. Again, I'd recommend going to one of the welder manufacturer sites like Hobart, Miller or Lincoln and buying a learning set on the process you want to master.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good over veiw of Equipment and theory,
By Mike Roelofs (central MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Welding Manual (Haynes Manuals) (Paperback)
Divided into sections the book gives the reader an over veiw of the principals and aplication each of the welding methods including arc, mig, tig, oxy-acealyne, and plasma giving the advantages and draw backs of each as well as history of the method. Also included is the basic requirements of the shop reguarding electrical and price range as well as some basic metal composition and practical application of metals to projects. I think the author should have gone into more detail of the how to aspects. Over veiw is great however and I definetly recomend it for a beginner ready to buy a home or farm welder.
