Preface
Our chief object in writing this book is to assist those who are not familiar with he construction or use of Universal or Plain Milling Machines. We desire to aid in having the machines well understood, properly cared for and profitably operated. Beyond this, we hope we have written somewhat of interest to those well  versed in the theory and practice of milling.

Content


 

This Milling Machine Manual is a wonderful example of the kind of informative and down to earth instructional manuals that folks used to create for their customers and sharing information. 

This manual dates from the era when folks truly tried to actually educate their customers and believed that their great dedication to quality product and service would garner them business, rather than propriety secrets or gimmicks. 

Filled with simple explanations, good diagrams, no complex math and algebra only where it is essential, this is the right way to learn about how to use a milling machine. 

While this pictures and the machine itself described in the books is clearly of an older (ancient) design, the issues, methods, mills, and their uses are still as relevant as when it was written. 

If you are seeking a book on how to use a 5 axes closed loop interferometer cnc milling system …  to machine plutonium to sub-wavelength tolerances, this is not your tome. 

On the other hand, if you have a fascination with the history of tools and technology and machine tools, are seeking a manual to this older Brown and Sharp generation of Milling, or just want a down to earth and fun intro to milling craft and knowledge, this is a great tome to read and re-read. 

Hey, I have used machine tools since I was a kid in the local machine shop, (as a teenager long ago)  and I learned a thing or two from this publication. 

Enjoy!
