Using Layout Tools DVD

				

				

					By Rudy Kouhoupt
				

				

					Often, getting underway on a project -- reading the drawings and doing the required markup on the metal -- can be the most challenging part. Rudy discusses every layout tool from his vast collection and demonstrates its function. He also gives you a detailed look at mechanical drawings and how to interpret them. This tape is a must for every novice machinist. 1 hour 30 minutes. 
Watch a brief clip from the DVD.
