The Machinist's Second Bedside Reader 

				

				

					By Guy Lautard
				

				

					The Machinist's Second Bedside Reader takes up where basic texts on machine shop practice leave off. It tells you, in a comfortable, easy-reading style, many old and obscure tricks of the trade; helps you get things done better, faster, and easier in your shop; shows you how to make a number of useful shop tools, and introduces you to areas of metalworking you many never have thought of before.
 Like the first book, the Second Bedside Reader is filled with more hints, tips, and projects. It contains full plans for:
  •  an elegant between-centers boring bar
  • a poor man's jig borer
  • an overhead drive for your milling spindle
  • a toolpost fixture for rounding the ends of small parts
  • a fixture for cutting multiple-start threads
  • a simple shop-made sine bar and sine fixture for your milling machine
  • ..... and much more!

     Also included in full is "The Bullseye Mixture," Guy's story about precision metalworking, rifle making, friendship, and the recipe for case hardening that may not be the only Bullseye Mixture in life.
    Paperback, 277pages.
