Good book,
This review is from: Home Machinists Handbook (Paperback)
This is a great book for a beginner or intermediate machinist especially on a tabletop machine like a Sherline which he uses for examples. He also has lots of good material on materials (pardon the pun) how steel is made and the different kinds of steel and other metals that the machinist may come across. Its a book that you can reread many times and also use as a reference.

A truly excellent reference for the novice machinist,
By Paul M Kiley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Machinists Handbook (Paperback)
The Home Machinist's Handbook is a wonderful first book for anyone interested in learning how to create parts in metal at home with small (or large) machine tools. The book covers all of the essentials in a clear readable style and includes plenty of helpful illustrations and photos. I can't recommend this book highly enough if you're just starting out in the hobby.

A very good introduction to machining,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Machinists Handbook (Paperback)
This is a very good book for someone that wants to start a new hobie. It explains all the basic hand tools, measurement tools and machine tools. It discusses heat treatment and materials in some detail and has a set of little projects in the end that make use of most of the techniques discribed in the book. The most advanced project is a miniature ship's cannon. It is a very good book for total beginners but it would be boring for someone more experienced.

A Great Resource for Beginners,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Machinists Handbook (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for beginning home machinists. It is somewhat Sherline specific, but that is a plus for me since I use Sherline tools. There is also a lot of general-purpose advice, so beginning machinists using other brands might also benefit (the first section covers reading plans and blueprints, for example). One thing I really like are the nice, clear illustrations -- easy to see even at arms length with safety glasses on! Although there is some duplication, I recommend Sherline beginners buy both this book and Joe Martin's "Tabletop Machining." Together, they are best two "accessories" you can possibly have in a Sherline shop.
