Machine Shop Trade Secrets

Summary: I liked this book...
Review: ..it is well-written, and has a lot of info packed into it. I learned a few things that will come in handy.

I am accustomed to books of this type being poorly written, filled with editorial mistakes, misspellings, etc. There were very few of those distractions in this work.

I read the whole thing in about 2 hours; I only wish that it was twice as thick, and filled with twice as many interesting tips and techniques!

I am not a professional machinist, but i would bet that if you are, you will find at least a few ideas in here that are easily worth the cost of the book!

Would I buy a Volume II filled with similar info-in a heartbeat!

Summary: An excelent guide
Review: I read through Harvey's book in just two sittings and I learned more from him than I did from my metal shop teacher. It was filled with handy, time saving tips and excelent illustrations that show you exactly what he's talking about.
