1) The Home Machinist’s Handbook
The home machinist’s handbook is written by Doug Briney. Basically, this book has been written keeping the basic things in mind means if you are a complete fresher in machining field then this book is preferred for you.
The topic covered in this book is the basic techniques related to milling, grinding, turning and the measurement related to all these machining operations. The major portion in this book has been covered that is about lathe and milling machine.
The information that has been covered about the machining process can make you expert of machining operations know-how as well as you can have the idea of set up a new machine shop, so whether you are planning for a job or you are planning for your own machine shop you can go for this book as this is for completely from Basics to intermediate level.
2) The Milling Machine for Home Machinists
One of the best books for a fresher, if you want to operate a milling machine at your own workshop or in a new company then you must have a book that is “The Milling Machine for Home Machinists” and that is written by Harold Hall.
Contents in this book will provide you with information related to basic to intermediate levels of machine operating and its setup.
Next, this book will give you detailed know-how of machine for a particular job and even process of installation of the machine, angle set up for a particular job so this would be a great book for a beginner to intermediate level of knowledge sicker. Even you can opt for choosing to own a machine shop by getting the knowledge.
3) Basic Lathework for Home Machinists
This is a book that has been written by Stan Bray has various aspects in terms of lath work for providing from basic to intermediate level of knowledge so if I talk about whether you should go for this book as an operator then its yes and even if you are planning to open a machine shop then this book will be much helpful.
If you are planning for a Machine for your home Workshop then basically you can go for this, the reason behind this is that the book has been written to provide in-depth knowledge about Lathe machine installation, Setup and Turning operations. All the turning tool has been described and categourised with proper image and example. So that you can have a clear cut idea about how does a turning process actually work in a practical approach.
4) Machinery’s Handbook
The Machinery’s Handbook is written by Erik Oberg. So up basically this book has amazing content and will provide some sort of sequential information about machining. Every machine is must have this book with him.
Basically, this book is useful for many levels of professional background from machine operator to machinist and even for engineers. It is helpful for metal workers, manufacturers, industrial engineers and toolmakers as well as for engineering students.
The information that has been tabulated well within the book and will have an effort to provide you with the things that can we learn easily as well as can be observed those topics and contents has been written there.
So basically this is a very handy book and I will recommend it asit is helpful for everyone who are interested in any type of machine shop related project.
5) Machining for Dummies
Machining for Dummies is one of the best book for machinists and is written by Kip Hanson. It provides very good information about machining. Apart from manual or conventional machining here you can have some sort of idea about CNC programming and robotics too.
The author has many years of experience in machining processes who has even worked as a machinist and has written this book so you can have the practical know-how about the subject knowledge so everyone who want the knowledge related to machining in terms of drilling, milling, turning as how the process that goes actually on shop floor then you must get this book.
The machine also includes some basic aspects of robotics and that has been presented well, if I talk about some sort of next level of machining process that we say a computer-controlled machine that also has been included in this book.
So this book is a complete set of basic to intermediate or even advanced level of knowledge tanks if you are looking for a book that should have in-depth information about Machining process from basic to advance then you must go for this. I already mentioned that the information collected in this book is really great and about the controlled machining like CNC and robotics as well as written in the simplest form that you can understand easily and this can be the best book if you want to enhance your skill by reading just a book
