Machine Shop Practice: Volume 1: 01

Received well in time, book was in perfect condition. Better than described by seller.

Amazing book to have in the workshop. Clear, concise and still relevant today.

it in and of itself is a detailed course for beginners for all machine shop practices on all machines except of course CNC which is fine by me, I'm not in mass production and prefer to be able to produce parts myself.

Das Buch war eine Buchempfehlung auf youtube von blondihacks. Wer Interesse an klassischer Metallbearbeitung (ohne CNC) hat, bekommt hier ein sehr gut geschriebenes und informatives Buch mit schöner Bebilderung. In den Tabellen sind die Angaben in Inch und mm, was für ein englischsprachiges Buch nicht selbstverständlich ist. Ich habe mir auch den zweiten Teil gekauft und mit anderen Bearbeitungsthemen wird dort der gleiche Stiel beibehalten.

I purchased this book and the volume 2 as well. These books go into detail on most of the general purpose manual machines you are likely to encounter, as well as single point tool function and give quite a number of examples. It also gives a good number of charts on cutting speeds as well as correction factors for different depths of cut and feed rates. Gives k values for calculated horsepower required for a given cut. It covers the lathe, milling machine, shaper, planer, layout, surface grinder, cylindrical grinder, tool and cutter grinder and jig borer. As this is an older book, it doesn’t' cover CNC at all and has one chapter on CNCs predecessor, NC. This gives very good coverage of manual machining; I was especially interested in the shaper and planer chapters, as information on these machines is no longer available in modern texts.

Seller under promised and WAY over delivered. Book was graded as Good to Very Good but it looks like it just came off the printing press! Thank you!

Arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described by seller.
