Vertical Milling in the Home Workshop: 2 (Workshop Practice Series)

Description:

The increasing appearance of vertical milling machines in model engineers' and other small workshops has brought the versatility of this type of machine to the notice of a large and growing group of potential users, but until the first edition of this book was published in 1977 there was little available guidance for the average amateur or small user. This third revised edition includes descriptions of many of the very wide range of operations possible with photographed examples, plus information on machines, accessories, cutters, chucks, requirements and methods of work-holding.

Good book

4.0 out of 5 stars Vertical Milling in the Home Workshop

J. · 10 June 2013

This was an excellent book when written some years ago; it's still good now but has become slightly dated, having no reference to the cheaper machines, equipment and tools currently (2013) available. I believe it is aimed at an ambitious amateur with existing milling experience. It contains a wealth of information and practical tips from a very experienced engineer.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need this if you have bought a new milling machine, even if you are experienced.

College Level - not High School level

This series of books is very technical. I was hoping for a high school level course but these seem more college oriented. But, I can't complain about a product being TOO good, can I?

Great read to get you started
