Hi All,
Some of you will know me from WWF.
I'm starting a Fitting and Turning apprenticeship with a gear manufacturer in 6 weeks and really looking forward to it.
Can anyone suggest some reading material? I have a copy of Fitting and Machining from TAFE Publications which I'm finding really good, what else is worth looking for to start out?
Also, what tools should I be looking at? I have already picked up 25mm, 50mm and 75mm Starrett mics (there's a nice 0-150mm set on ebay with standards, but I didn't see it until after I bought the 3) as well as various squares, bevels and levels - all Starrett as well. I do want a nice set of every day calipers as I don't really think using a master set on the shop floor is a great idea, the question being Starrett, Mitutoyo or TESA? Should I be going digital for everything possible, or stick to analog?
Look forward to learning lots here and hopefully contributing down the track.
