Milling Machine & Accessories: And Accessories Choosing and Using (Workshop Practice Series)

This book is a superb reference for anyone considering a table-top or small floor model milling machine for hobby or light commercial use (ie: gunsmithing). The author is British, so the writing style is different from us Yanks, but his recommendations and considerations for a mill and its tooling are solid. Flow of topics is smooth. The author is great at offering money saving recommendations especially in the area of clamps, specialized tooling and vices. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is considering a mill and especially tooling purchases.

This book does what this series is intended for. It answers many questions the hobbyist has, in a format that is easy to follow and understand. So if you have a home shop and are considering buying, or already have a mill or a mill/drill,I highly recomend this for your library.

Seems to be a good basic book for getting started with the milling machine. I recently purchased a small, benchtop milling machine and have no experience using it, so this book was a big help setting it up, getting the right accessories and using it.

Mostly about fixturing, which is at least half the challenge of using a milling machine.

Great book with a lot of information.

ok

I am very pleased with my purchase. Thanks

Do not buy this book **if** you already own "The Milling Machine for Home Machinists" by the same author. Despite different titles, different publishers and different covers is EXACTLY the same as this book. Chapter by chapter. Word for word. Picture by picture. Amazon has seen fit allow different text descriptions of each implying the content is different. It is not. I feel badly abused by both the author and Amazon.

Wieder mal ein Harold Hall wie er typisch ist...logisch strukturiert und gut ausgebaut erklärt der Autor dem Neuling welche Typen Maschinen es gibt bzw welche für ihn in Frage kommen und erklärt dann wie neue Fräse zu installieren ist,welches Zubehör gleich nötig welches mit der Zeit gekauft werden kann bzw welches man sich besser selber anfertigt und zeigt dies dann reich bebildert. ..es ist das Buch zum Fräsenkauf in D gibt's nichts vergleichbares wer also englisch ca mittelklasse kann lese dieses Buch mir hat er sehr geholfen,auch Geld und Zeit zu sparen. ..jeden Cent wert ...

I was toying with the idea of getting a vertical milling machine, so I bought this book to see if was really as complicated as I thought. It turns out that all together it is, but that with everything explained clearly and approachably, it was worth having a go. i have now bought the machine; the next step is to accumulate all the other bits like collets and cutters to make it work, which would have been a very hit or miss process without this book. I feel that with this book it will be quite reasonably straightforward; I'd recommend it to anyone else in my position with no access to an evening class and a wish to mill metal. One thing that perhaps should be emphasised; Harold Hall has also produced another milling book in this series which takes the form of a description of all the bits of equipment you need to do milling adequately. It's called 'The Milling Machine - choosing and using' and it is equally helpful and valuable; both books together would be my recommendation - they're so CHEAP! Fantastic value.

One of my favourite home shop books. Written like a course text with several useful projects for the beginning milling machine owner, with drawings and operational instructions to make a great foundation to a new shop owner

Die Bücher aus der Reihe sind sehr informativ und für den Leien gut verständlich. The books in the series are very informative and easy to understand for the layman.

While a bit dated, Worth every penny, lots of useful tips and tricks of the trade
