Scraping a bed ways longer than my surface plate

[Dabbler]

His surface plate is 12" x 18". You could not do a 24" straight edge on that size plate.

I was trying to show him how to get his 30" minimum cheaply.

Found it... Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy

by Wayne R. Moore

Maybe $42?

A fair bit of "we are awesome" for the Moore company, but a great read!

Amazon has that book available (from another vendor) for only $380!
I found a pdf file for free though.

It is nice that Bill is still operating his download server. I've helped him out in his shop a couple of times. (he used to be local to me)

There used to be copies out on archive.org as well.
