Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

A practical perspective on equipment and processes with instruction for many projects shown.

Details the skills involved in operating milling cutters, planers, lathes, shaper tools, boring machines, grinding wheels, and drills.

This is the first really new machine shop practice text in nearly 20 years.
