What's
this book about?
Using machine tools—lathes, mills and drill presses. The book explains how
they operate, how to set up work, and how to safely use these tools. There is

faceplates and centers. Milling machine tooling is covered in detail. It is not
about production methods or NC machine tools.

What's new in the Second Edition of Machine
Shop Essentials?
Two master machinists have reviewed Machine Shop Essentials line-by-line
and suggested dozens of revisions and additions. Hundreds of drawings have been
upgraded, several dozen new ones have been added. New material on recovering
from snapped center drill tips, making twist drill extensions with a file,
adjusting flycutters, milling machine boring, quick-change tool holders,
adjustable reamers and repair dies vs. threading dies. Almost every procedure
has new, additional suggestions for avoiding machining problems and getting out
of them when you do not. There are new tables for slip and press fits, lathe
speed cutter selection and drill sizing.
