jigs and fixtures
I've finished reading Joe Martin's book, Tabletop Machining, and also The Mini Power Tool Handbook, by Taylor and Bullock. Now I'd like to read a book about how one designs jigs and fixtures in metal work. I found a lot of books on jigs and fixtures by searching at Amazon. Some of them clearly identify the book as being for woodworking. I didn't find any that clearly identify the book as being for metal work. Maybe that doesn't matter but I think it probably does. Can someone recommend some books that explain how one designs jigs and fixtures for metal work?

You might want to keep an eye out for "Jigs and Fixtures" by Colvin & Haas
and published by McGraw-Hill Book Company. The copy I have is copyrighted 1943, but also bears dates going back to 1913. You should be able to find a copy for $10 or so.

pixelated: I've finished reading Joe Martin's book, Tabletop Machining, and also Hmmm... Can someone recommend some books that explain how one designs jigs and fixtures for metal work? I found "Jig and Fixture Design" by Edward G. Hoffman at Hamilton Books last year, sight unseen. It turns out that it's an all metalwork book vs. a woodworking jig book. It appears to be a textbook since he talks about students. He has written 17 books about tools and manufacturing engineering. 334 pages, paperback, 8x10", 1991. Want to trade for Martin's book? I can't find a copy of that locally. ;) - Metaphors Be With You - http://diversify.com Web Application Programming |

I've finished reading Edward G. Hoffman's book, Jig and Fixture Design, 3d ed, and enjoyed it. I didn't do any of the exercises, and may need to work through it again sometime more carefully, but I feel better informed than I did before I read it. I've also finished reading Gingery's book on the metal lathe. I think I learned a lot from it, and will continue to do so. I've ordered the remaining books in the series on building your own metal working shop from scrap metal and am looking forward to reading them. Meanwhile, I've started reading and thinking about the book on the Li'l Bertha electric shop furnace.

Those are both interesting books, but they're aimed in very different directions. Is there something in particular you're looking for? Ed Huntress |
