    Not me but I have a copy of one shown below on that page. A great book worth owning. 9780831132279: Machine Shop Trade Secrets: A Guide to Manufacturing Machine Shop Practices - AbeBooks - Harvey, James: 0831132272

    Mike, have a search on Alibris. They sell second hand books often cheaper than Amazon. Books Online - New & Used Books - Textbooks - Rare Books - Alibris Marketplace

    Exclamation

    I received my copy of MACHINE SHOP TRADE SECRETS by James Harvey

    The author has 30 years experience as a mold maker and tool room fitter

    The book provides clearly explained tips and ideas that you won't find in a orthodox textbook aimed at industry - those little tricks that only experience can give. He explains how to use a surface grinder to sharpen the bottom cutters of end mills . How to achieve nice knurls . Sharpen worn out taps and more

    The B&W pics are large enough to see whats going on - unlike the workshop series books with the smaller pics . The softcover format is approx. 9 x 7 " . The text is well spaced out , more than is necessary as some pages have blank spaces.

    There is a chapter on CNC .

    I would give it a 8 out of 10 as it is written in easy to understand language , unlike most of the industry textbooks that are rather too complicated .

    Mike
