Average Rating: 
Rating:  - This book is almost useless.
I bought this book to learn how to run a mill I had just purchased. The first chapter explains what a mill cutter and a vice are. The second explains how to make T-nuts that I had already purchased. Chapter 3 instructs the reader to go to your lathe, which I don't have, and make a tool necessary to go any further in the book. So, if you don't have a lathe, or any intention to buy one, this book is a waste of money. It's also written in "english" english rather than "american" english and every ... Read More
Rating:  - Some One Can not do the Math
One Minute he is trying to do things all in metric but he is in england so half of it does not translate to metric easy. Most of what he has done can be made to work and work great. Still he make dove tails using a backwards was to do it half arsed. Use the right tools if you are going to machine things then buy the tools to machine them when you have to. Some of the photos need to be a little clearer so we would understand better. I do like some of the small project he thinks we need and he is right ... Read More
Rating: - Title a misnomer, but still a good book.
The title of the book is a misnomer, since this is far from a complete course on milling. It is, however, a good book for a starter for somebody who's bought a small home mill and has discovered that it's missing even the most basic tools and has no real instructions with it. I've been a machinist since the mid-1980's and have plenty of practice and tools, and there were even a few items among the projects that I intend to build. Given the price, if you've just bought a small mill and haven't the foggiest ... Read More
Rating:  - Harold Hall Fan
I have bought three of Harold Hall's books, and they have all been read, used and re-read.
His writing is clear, expert, well illustrated with clear photographs and drawings and the projects are very suitable to anyone starting in this fascinating field of metal working. They are good bed side reading and/or workshop guides for the actual projects.
The books in the Workshop Practice Series are compact, about 128 pages, but contain a surprisingly large amount of information, and are good ... Read More
Rating: - Milling a complete course
Very good for learning new techniques. Covers setup and operation of most home shop mills. I am building the advanced tool sharpener holder which is one of the projects presented. It was an unexpected challenge to convert the dimensions from mm to inches, but a good exercise.
I also learned several milling techniques that I was unaware of. A great book for the price. The "Lath a complete course" is a good companion book and both books compliment each other.
