Do any of you have any suggestions for a book that would be a good overall reference and tutorial for lathe and milling machine operation?
I suspect that taking a night class would be great, but I just don't have time for that right now.
I have had a shop and been doing woodworking and misc shop stuff since I was a child, but have just recently put together a little machine shop. Current tools include RongFu mill drill, Atlas/Craftsman 12x36 lathe, Atlas 7" shaper, Atlas horizontal mill, 4x6 horizontal band saw, a chinese 8 1/2 x 18 lathe, a couple drill presses, grinders, etc.
I have an intuitive sense of how various operations probably are done, but some things are a total guess to me at this point.
There must be lots of books out there, but maybe there are one or two that are must-haves for the novice.
Thanks-
