Machine Shop Practice, Vol. 1 Review: Very good book on Machining - 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. Review: this is the one you want for learning or reference - One of the best texts out there for manual machines. Vol 1 is lathes, saws - vol 2 is milling machines shapers and grinders. Excellent learning tool. Not dumbed down like current texts with so much safety procedures you never see how to cut or turn. Complete - usefull as a reference. Has all the machines with all the features you'll find in a hobby or manual shop. Published in 1981 so still relevant. Highly recommende as a buy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #513,204 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #61 in Drafting & Mechanical Drawing (Books) #66 in Metallurgy Materials Engineering #124 in Machinery Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (101) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.5 x 9 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0831111267 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0831111267 | | Item Weight | 1.85 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 1981 | | Publisher | Industrial Press, Inc. | ## Images ![Machine Shop Practice, Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41qao0FfEKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book on Machining *by C***S on April 11, 2013* I purchased this book and the volume 2 as well.
