Milling Paperback – August 31, 2011

This is a beautifully turned-out book with little content. It names things and distinguishes mill types but is little use to a beginning mill wright. What end mill is best for Al and at what speed? Those sort of answers are few. Not a how-to.

As someone who is beginning to develop an interest in the use of machine tools, I found this book invaluable. It covers a broad range of aspects of its subject in considerable detail. The book contains a great deal of advice and numerous tips which I have no doubt I'll find useful as I progress. The level of detail here is far greater than that of the various other books I have read on the same subject. For this reason I suspect that there is value here for the more experienced machinist too. Sorry, but I can't understand the negativity of some of the other reviews. This is not a coffee table book on milling (coffee table books do not contain technical information!), but a useful guide to the subject at an introductory level and possibly beyond.
