Packed with facts and rules that students can put to use in the shop and toolroom, they include everything from underlying principles, to standards, to calculations for every specific task in shop training. Together, they provide an outstanding treatise on machine shop practice. No classroom or workshop where apprentices are being trained can afford to be without these valuable combination text and reference guides. Covers fundamental principles; methods of adjusting and using different types of machine tools - with typical examples
This really is a comprehensive book for machine shop students covering everything from the principles of metal cutting and using a lathe to the rather more complicated matters of reading blueprints and not only building machines but doing so accurately. There are plenty of photos and illustrations, not to mention various formula and calculation tables, to support the various aspects of the machine shop covered and I suspect that other than some modernisation there is a lot in this that is still relevant today.
