5Essential reading for the beginner and experienced machinist  Jul 19, 2008
This book provides a host of practical tips and tricks to make machining operations easier, faster and more accurate. The author covers lathe and milling operations as well as getting the best results when marking out and hand tool operations such as thread forming. Great to pick up and flick through or read from cover to cover. I have gleaned some very useful tips from this book that I have not read/heard about elsewhere. Written in an easy to understand style with a good balance of technical detail.

I've been a Toolmaker for 30 years and you're never too old to learn,
some very good chapters, and a must for any apprentice or tradesman looking to up his game, highly recommended.

This book was an easy read,easy to understand and didn't want to put it down till I hit the back cover.Not like other books of this type where I had to reread to understand where they were going.One of those books when you finish it leaves you wanting more.Good enough to make me want to leave some feedback

4Fair and honest  May 08, 2008

5Sorry I waited....  Apr 20, 2008
I'm a self taught machinist but sometimes I don't trust my teacher. I'm always look'n for better ways to do a job. I'd heard about this book for sometime but I thought it was too much money. So I kept waiting to find it on sale, I did and now that I've read it, I'm sorry I waited. It's well worth the price and I should have paid it. For then I would have had access to Mr. Harvey's knowledge sooner. The book isn't a beginning to end story or an indept machining course but the best collect on useful proven tips and ideas for the machinist or want-a-be machinist. I don't think you could go wrong with this book. Mr. Harvey brings us his vast experience with easy to understand language and excellent photos to support what he is discribing. I would like to meet him so I can thank him personally.
