While Machinery's Handbook is the gold standard you might consider "Shop Reference for Students and Apprentices, From Machinery's Handbook". The editor of Machinist's Workshop mag recommends it in the

Re: Which Machinists Handbook
My copy is from 1949 and I find it just fine. Get the first old one you can find for cheap. If that proves inadequate, you can always buy a newer one. Aside from modern topics (like CNC, perhaps), the

Looks like I'm going to be buying a Machinists Handbook, anyone have any preference of one over another? Is one author considered better than the others? I have a 8.5x16 lathe, no mill. Do I need a

Re: Hello from Yellowknife
Hi, Jerry, Yes, that's true. But it's a lot more convenient (to me, at least) than having to set up an account at yet another online vendor, and dealing with them directly. If I would be comfortable

Re: 1/2" x 13 threads

Re: 1/2" x 13 threads
