3.0 out of 5 stars A useful book, but appallingly written, 26 Oct 2006
By Mr. David Thomas "irritated reader" (Bromley, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sadly, this is probably the best book if you have a new milling machine and no experience. But I say sadly because it's so badly written it's really difficult to follow. The contents page and the author's remarks set out a sensible sounding plan: take the reader through several simple projects to learn by doing. But the author gets diverted into the technique-specific lectures he says he's going to avoid (which ruins the flow of both the projects and the technique instruction).

And the prose seems to have been copied from one of those manuals supplied by Chinese machine-tool manufacturers who don't really know English. Try this, the very first sentence in the book: "Using the milling machine does not include the range of operations that are available when using the centre lathe as the machining process varies little from task to task." OR this: "The reason for this is that a cut starts at full depth and reduces to zero whilst in reverse the opposite is true ...". Lastly, on the important subject of Climb Milling (or not), it is wholly unclear whether he is recommending it or warning against it. Since this is something very basic for a new mill operator, that's a serious criticism.

1.0 out of 5 stars Milling. An Incomplete Course!, 4 Jun 2009
By Dick W (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews
Having used a Milling machine on a basic Workshop Practice course years ago I was hoping for a memory jogger and some in depth engineering information. The title sounded just the thing; Unfortunately, it isn't. It lacks depth and breadth and cannot by any stretch of the imagination warrant the tile "A complete course".

It reads as if it is the ideas of a self-taught enthusiast using a machine in his home workshop. Nothing wrong with that if that was what the title implied. I won't get caught again with books in this series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good course for beginners, 5 May 2009
By D. A. Larner "Dave L" (Norfolk UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the previous reviewer. I wanted advise on which milling tools to buy etc. This book is written by an experienced engineer who seems to have lost sight of the basics and the fact that the buyer may know very little.There seem to be no books aimed at the novice and if you are its possibly a good idea to avoid this book.
