Work Holding for Machinists: Crowood Metalworking Guides

Workholding for Machinists explains the various workholding options available to the metalworker and the principles behind them.

Author Tim Stevens explains the importance of precision in holding work in place and the importance of holding tools and machines securely so that the machinist may avoid damage to the machine and to the work being undertaken and thus achieve a high-quality end product.

The emphasis is on creating good work within a limited budget and a limited range of resources.

This new book covers topics such as workholding on lathes and milling machines, collets and collect chucks, turning between centres, turning on a faceplate, and tool holding.

Fully illustrated with 118 photographs and diagrams.
