Machine Shop Trade Secrets

This is a superb book by James A Harvey. I got my copy from Camden Books. You can also have a look on his web site http://www.proshoppublishing.com/index.html. Not the cheapest book in the world but every page is a gem.

Most of the tips were lifted from other web sites.
He's just combined them into a book, unfortunately when it was published he made a right nuisance of himself splattering it all over various groups and forums endlessly.

I have had to ban him off a couple I moderate on.
