Milling for Home Machinists is a project-based course that provides a complete introduction to milling and the use of the milling machine. It assumes no prior knowledge and works through the process of using a home shop mill from beginning to end.
Inside, you'll advance through a series of practice projects that teach you how to use the milling machine and develop essential skills through practical application. The book takes beginners through all the basic techniques needed to tackle a wide range of machining operations. A getting started section reviews the necessary tools and equipment. Four minor and four major milling projects provide the opportunity to gain basic skills, and then use that expertise to build a series of useful and increasingly complex tools. Each task is designed to develop essential milling machine skills that you will use again and again!
The eight projects are extensively illustrated and photographed, with full workshop drawings accompanying the text. Projects carefully progress in difficulty from easy to intermediate, and each tool you'll make is used in later projects. Each project introduces new techniques and information, and most major milling procedures are covered by the end of the book.
After completing this course, you will have amassed a wealth of practical skills and a range of useful workshop tools and equipment. Milling machine owners with more advanced skills will find new ways to expand their workshops. The wide range of projects provides you with items that are both useful and interesting to make, including an angle plate, clamps, parallels, boring head, dividing head, a grinding tool holder, and an excellent milling cutter sharpener. Some of the items—such as the grinding rest and its accessories—are not available commercially, making this book even more valuable for workshop owners of all skill levels.
With Milling for Home Machinists, you'll not only get a training manual on using the milling machine, but also receive practical instruction on how to apply the knowledge that it presents. This is also a useful companion book to Metal Lathe for Home Machinists.
