Description

This book deals with the process of choosing and using a milling machine and its accessories. In addition to the machine itself, the accessories include the cutters, cutter chucks, workpiece clamps, vices, angle plates, dividing heads, rotary tables, boring heads and other minor items. The content is divided into three main sections. Firstly, it describes what machines and accessories are available and covering each one in detail. The author explains which are essential and which can be obtained when the workshop activity eventually demands one. There are also suggestions on how the equipment chosen should be installed. The usage of each machine and accessory is covered for all but their most complex uses. Typically, using the rotary table and the dividing head are both described to a detail sufficient for the majority of uses that will surface in the home workshop. The third section deals with the actual machining process, covering the choice of the cutter for the task in hand, the speeds to use and how the direction of the feed relative to the cutter rotation is vitally important. A less-understood feature of milling, back cutting, is also explained. Read more

  • A great and helpful book
This book is a superb reference for anyone considering a table-top or small floor model milling machine for hobby or light commercial use (ie: gunsmithing). The author is British, so the writing style is different from us Yanks, but his recommendations and considerations for a mill and its tooling are solid. Flow of topics is smooth. The author is great at offering money saving recommendations especially in the area of clamps, specialized tooling and vices. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is considering a mill and especially tooling purchases. ... show more

  • Milling machine for the beginner
Seems to be a good basic book for getting started with the milling machine. I recently purchased a small, benchtop milling machine and have no experience using it, so this book was a big help setting it up, getting the right accessories and using it.

  • Good for the hobby
This book does what this series is intended for. It answers many questions the hobbyist has, in a format that is easy to follow and understand. So if you have a home shop and are considering buying, or already have a mill or a mill/drill,I highly recomend this for your library.

  • All these little Workshop Practice Series books are good.
Mostly about fixturing, which is at least half the challenge of using a milling machine.
