Machine Shop Secrets is a practical "how-to" book aimed at the typical small machine shop, with lots of helpful photos.

Rather than present a lot of tables and charts, Harvey gives practical, day-to-day machining advice in an enthusiastic, conversational tone.
As he notes, in machining "You get to destroy as you create. After nearly forty years working in the trade, I still like making a big mess of chips."


There are helpful hints on threading, cutting, grinding, finishing, and CNC work.
Filled with practical machine shop tips and tricks, both conventional and CNC, plus a much needed chapter on help for engineers from a machinist's perspective.

A limited number of copies of the first edition are available at a reduced price.
