A Good book for Cliff

Cliff, Here is a clue! Buy a copy of this book" Machine Shop Trade
Secrets" by
James A. Harvey. You can get a copy at www.industrialpress.com. This
book was written by a guy who actually knows how to machine real
parts.
Think of it like a book Jon may have written to enlighten you. Heck
Jon, maybe Cliff's birthday is coming up and you could get him a
copy! Anyway the book is really good and has many tips on mostly
manual
machining. Here is another clue Cliff, knowing manual machining would
greatly increase your understanding of CNC and engineering. But of
course Jon has told you that before. Seriously Cliff this book is
full
of things that most everyone that reads this group would like to
share
and talk about. BUT YOU won't allow it, as you have almost
single-handedly made this group worthless to post or even read for
informative purposes. -tazio


This book looks like a totally fresh approach to writing about
machining. I'm going to order MACHINE SHOP TRADE SECRETS tomorrow from
Borders Books. I often find if I pick up just one or two things from a
book, or the book gets me to look at something with a different
perspective that it's well worth the price of the book to me.
Especially look forward to reading this chapter:

Rotary Table Magic

If this book turns out to be a breath of fresh air, I may decide to
mention it in every post and at every possible chance as is my style.
:)

You will have to forgive me if I don't purchase this book for you know
who as I don't see the point in giving a book to someone who puts down
manual machinists and who shows no interest in learning because he
claims to know it all.

Thanks for the post.

Try "Machinery's Handbook" first.

So NOW you are claiming to be just a manual machinist?
NO CAD/CAM at all?

(All of the machines in his picture of himself that he's so
proud of seem to be manual machines ... and he has the tool
of his trade right at hand :

About time for a haircut?

BTW, When are you EVER going to post something on machining
(and get it right)?
