5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent machining and shop work reference book,
By
Ce commentaire est de: Home Machinists Handbook (Paperback)
I've had this book for several years and I'm still amazed by it. It has wide variety of material, from using hand shop tools, milling, lathe machine, material science, sample projects and drawings. Easy enough for beginners, but enough detailed material for more advanced work too. The book shows a Sherline mill and lathe, but the material would still apply to many small machines.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Resource for Beginners,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Home Machinists Handbook (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for beginning home machinists. It is somewhat Sherline specific, but that is a plus for me since I use Sherline tools. There is also a lot of general-purpose advice, so beginning machinists using other brands might also benefit (the first section covers reading plans and blueprints, for example). One thing I really like are the nice, clear illustrations -- easy to see even at arms length with safety glasses on! Although there is some duplication, I recommend Sherline beginners buy both this book and Joe Martin's "Tabletop Machining." Together, they are best two "accessories" you can possibly have in a Sherline shop.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A truly excellent reference for the novice machinist,
By Paul M Kiley (Newton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Home Machinists Handbook (Paperback)
The Home Machinist's Handbook is a wonderful first book for anyone interested in learning how to create parts in metal at home with small (or large) machine tools. The book covers all of the essentials in a clear readable style and includes plenty of helpful illustrations and photos. I can't recommend this book highly enough if you're just starting out in the hobby.
