The Home Machinists Handbook
By Doug Briney
275 pages, softcover, 7¾" x 9¼"
ISBN 0-8306-1573-3
Copyright 1983

Here's everything the do-it-yourselfer needs to set up, and operate a machine shop. Areas covered range from shop requirements and proper lighting to buying, using, and storing tools. A lot has been written about machine tools and how they are used to make parts. Most books and literature on the subject are written in very technical terms for the professional machinist, someone interested in obtaining high-volume production rates at the lowest cost. These books assume that the machinist has unlimited funds and can equip a shop with the very latest and best equipment. This book is different. It is written for the nonprofessional—someone who wants to work on a few projects at home. This book is written for the hobbyist who wants to make a few parts for a radio-controlled airplane or boat, the model railroader building a new locomotive, or the amateur horologist repairing a clock. It is intended for the inventor who needs a few parts to try out the latest idea, or the engineer who wants to build a prototype for a new product. This book is intended for you—to give you an understanding of the equipment, methods, and materials used in basic machine shop work.

The purpose of this book is to fill that void and provide concrete suggestions that can help you think and produce like an experienced machinist. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ve hit the mother lode. This book is primarily directed toward the conventional tool room machinist working in a small shop environment. Many CNC machining suggestions are also included. By virtue of pricing and delivery competition, most small shops have to be very good at what they do.
