Description:
This book is a comprehensive treatise on toolmaking. Before the availability of cutting tools, electronic instruments and computer controlled machines, the master mechanics had to make their own tools and equipment. Here you can learn how to make reamers, cutting tools, taps and so on. It also includes a great deal of shop metrology using simple instruments such as verniers, calipers, micrometers, rules and squares. With the methods described here it is possible to perform complex measurement tasks and layouts. This book is simply beautiful, a must for the mechanical engineer.
