Second that Wes! Esp. if you're talking about Ivan Laws little book in which he details duplication
of gear surfaces from common end mill radii.

I've read that s possible problem is that they speak in metric and
some are outdated, or geared toward the UK reader. Nevertheless any
advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have Ivan Laws book on gearing and one on lathe work holding. I'm not sure if
Pentagrids book on motors is part of the series but if it is, I'll recommend all three.

Screw cutting on the lathe is worthwhile also. Just remembered I had that one also.
