THE GUIDE IS THOROUGHLY PRACTICAL BECAUSE IT APPROACHES MACHINE SHOP WORK FROM THE HOW-TO-DO-IT VIEWPOINT.
THE GUIDE IS PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED. IN MANY INSTANCES EACH STEP OF OPERATION IS ILLUSTRATED, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT TO THE LEARNER ONE GOOD ILLUSTRATION IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS OF EXPLANATION.
READING THESE GUIDES WILL NOT MAKE YOU AN EXPERT, BUT READING THEM AND A LOT OF PRACTICE WILL PUT YOU ON YOUR WAY TO BECOMING ONE.
WE PUBLISH METALWORKING QUICK FACT GUIDES FOR METALWORKING PEOPLE. THEY ARE DIRECTED TOWARDS MACHINISTS, APPRENTICE MACHINISTS, GUNSMITHS, SHOP INSTRUCTORS, HOME SHOP MACHINISTS AND METALWORKERS IN FACT, ANYONE WHO WORKS WITH METAL.
THEY COVER MANY ASPECTS OF THE METALWORKING TRADE.
METALWORKING GUIDES, THESE ARE SHORT GUIDES ON METALWORKING, THEY ARE NOT COLLEGE COURSES.
The purpose of these guides is to consolidate in one publication, basic information on various subjects, written simply so it will be easily understood.
E-Book is short for Electronic Book. What that means is a book that is read in electronic form, for example on your computer.
You can read it like a regular book, page by page, or you can click on an item and go directly there.
You can download this book to your computer or just use it from the disc.
There is a Print function, also on the Toolbar. If you need to frequently refer to some information or just want a hardcopy, please feel free to print out any relevant pages
A big advantage to an e-book is that when you get it you receive it you get the latest information. In a regular book once it is printed, that's it, it is costly to reprint the book, so if any new information is used or any errors in the book are found, you will have to wait for the new version, with an e-book, it is easy to change it. so that you receive the latest information.
WHY DO WE SEND THE GUIDE ON A "CD"
MOST PEOPLE CAN NOT MAKE A COPY, SO IF THE
COMPUTER CRASHES THEY LOSE THE INFORMATION
THIS GUIDE WILL WORK ON BOTH A PC AND MAC SYSTEM
