Choosing & Using the Right Milling Machine EPUB

Both the lathe and mill are incredibly flexible machines, but neither is capable of doing useful work right ';out of the box.' Both call for a number of accessories for holding the workpiece, as well as a selection of different cutting tools, drills, reamers, etc. Unlike lathe turning, which has not changed fundamentally in the past 100 years, milling in the small shop has been changed radically by the recent introduction of bench-top machines.
There are now so many different milling machines that insider information has become even more important. In this work, Choosing & Using the Right Milling Machine, Richard Rex provides everything needed to choose the right type of millknee-type (Bridgeport) or bench-topand properly install it depending on the type of work you're doing.
