More Great Machinist Books!

Machining Fundamentals by John Walker. Good one volume intro.

- Machine Tool Practices Kibbe, Neely, Meyer, and White. Another good one volume.

- Machine Tools and Machining Practices Volumes One and Two (complete) by White, Neely, Krar, Kibbe, et al. Very complete treatment (over 1200 pages – more info than the Kibbe et al Machine Tool Practices) and probably now only available used.

- Metalworking Sink or Swim by Tom Lipton. Lots of useful tips for those with some knowledge.

- Turret Mill Operation by John Edwards. Covers Bridgeport-style mills in depth.

- Technology of Machine Tools by Krar and Oswald. Another good overview.

- Modern Machine-Shop Practice Volumes 1 & 2 by Joshua Rose. "Modern" as in the latest technology of the 1880's. Totally outdated, but just too cool not to mention. Gorgeous books with thousands of detailed engravings, fold outs, diagrams, etc.

- The Amateur's Workshop by Ian Bradley. The book many home shop types might want after How to Run a Lathe.

Enco has it a few bucks less than Amazon, and you can use either the 15% off or free shipping codes in our Coupon thread.

I have it in my Enco cart, along with a few other titles from this forum.

Sorry to hear that, Ed. That book is in my cart at Enco (cheaper than Amazon) to buy.
I just bought several of the Workshop Series, the Audel Intro book, and the Motrecht Machine Shop Practice book. The Moltrecht book is a small hardcover textbook that looks real good-very thorough.

That book is in my cart also both at Amazon and Enco to buy.

I will have a nice little library before long.
