This DVD was produced in 2002 provides a "working knowledge" of the technical aspects, plus the welder skills necessary for using the Gas Metal Arc Welding process, commonly referred to as mig welding (solid wire with an externally furnished shielding gas). This process has been used in industry for a long time, but with the development of smaller, less expensive welding machines, it is becoming widespread in home shops because of its ease of operation. Steve also covers safety concerns inherent with all welding procedures. 45 minutes.

For computer users, the New CDROM version of Machinery's Handbook is an absolute must. Here is ultimate convenience when you need a quick answer.

Using the search mechanism or simply going to the index or table of contents and clicking on the desired subject, you are immediately linked to it. Other convenience features are included.
Recently, the publisher (Industrial Press) realized that the small print of the Original Version of Machinery's Handbook was difficult or at least inconvenient to read, so they introduced the larger print edition, published in 7 x 10" size, but containing all the same information incorporated in the 5 x 7" version.
Since its introduction in 1914, Machinery's Handbook has remained the most authoritative, single-volume, reference work available for metalworking and manufacturing. Now in its 29th edition, it has been thoroughly updated and is 100 pages larger, now containing 2800 pages. Every machinist should own one of these valuable references from Industrial Press.
