The Complete Practical Machinist; Embracing Lathe Work, Vise Work, Drills and Drilling, Taps and Dies, Hardening and Tempering, the Making and Use of ... Work, Machine Tools, Etc (Classic Reprint)

When the first edition of this work was presented to theM echanical Fraternity, the author made, in hopes and fears, his first bow to his fellow-craftsmen. Since then seventeen years have passed away and the encouragement he has received has led him to widen its scope in grateful recognition of the kind reception the work has received. This new edition adds, the author believes, much value to the work, since it introduces to the reader the MACHINE TOOLS in which the cutting tools are used, whereas in all previous editions the cutting tools only were treated upon. Care has been taken to keep the work up to date and to preserve all the familiar work-shop language that has led the practical workman to greet it so kindly. JOSHUA ROSE. December 1, 1894.
