We love James Harvey's book, Machine Shop Trade Secrets, here at Metalmite Corporation. Even though we have 41 years of experience with CNC Machining and 4, 5 and 6 axis machining centers, we have found that the foundational knowledge found in Mr. Harvey's book is irreplaceable! I especially like chapter 18 on "Rotary Table Magic"! I think that all of our interns should be given this book to read through first, then we can have something to build from. It is getting harder and harder to find machinist with these skills, but it is quite refreshing to have this handbook as a guide to help the new hire's find the way. [...]

This well-written book deserves lots of accolade for its clear and useful information. Not only machine shop owners and workers, but everybody distantly relevant will find this book a must-have reference in his daily work. In the book, many common-sense, practical and 'obvious' advices and tips are provided generously. The author is good at explaining technical aspects in layman's terms thus making it easy to follow and understand. And the author has a good sense of humor too. One of my favorites is "Blowing chips all over the guy next to you would be an example of a "non-dimensional" mistake that would likely irritate somebody." Seriously, you don't expect you could have some laughs while studying such technical subject like machine shop operation! Yes, book like this surely brighten up your mundane workday.

While not an introductory book by any means, the author lends a lot of insight that only a skilled machinist acquires with years of experience.
By J. Breithaupt (Shreveport, LA USA)
This book is for anyone doing hands-on machine shop work. Full of everyday tips and time-savers. I've adopted many of them for my lathe and mill work. Excellent for hobbyists who have never worked in the trade. Hobbyists can pick up the tips and tricks they would have gained after working 30 years in a production shop.
By Armand Tomany (Jacksonville, AR)
An Excellent reference book for the beginner as well as the seasoned professional. I've been a Tool Maker/Machinist and Mechanical Engineer for 25 years and I still picked up some good advice from the book. Very Handy.
I hope this helps in your decision to purchase.....
