handy reference for design.......2007-10-06
As some of the other reviewers have already noted, this isn't the book you'd use to start up your own machine shop. Of course it's title says "fundamentals", and I believe it does a good job explaining them. I'm a design engineer in the aerospace field and it seems like there are young, fresh out of college engineers everywhere I've worked that can make a pretty part in the computer that a machinist would find almost impossible or at least very costly to make. I've loaned the book out on multiple occasions and find it is very helpful.
Great buy for the beginning machinist........2006-05-17
I was given this book by the author, my high school teacher in 1969. This is an excellent text for the machinist, and home shop machinist. The first addition was written many years ago, and geared to the manual machinist. Even the cnc machinist needs the basics contained here. Mr Walker did a fine job writing this book, and preparing me for a lifetime of work as a professional, and home shop machinist. I recomend it for anyone striving to learn the trade as a profession, or a hobby.

Read and Enjoy.......2002-02-20
This book is very good and when you ask yourself what is missing to make it complete encyclopaedia for the field, you see that you only need more tables and data for specific appilication.
But.
Concept of technical encyclopaedia that gives you all available data related to some field NEVER has invaluable features that this book offers: clear and patient explanations, extremely well illustrated, allways beginning "from the bottom" (very basics) to a very reasonable level of sophistication. If you start form zero level knoledge or if you need pragmatical reference book that covers whole field, choose this book. All you further need to master machining is: some good desk reference book i.e. collection of practical table data (there are couple of them very useful at really modest price), manual of a particular machine that you have and practice, practice.
That combination is, in my opinion, of muche more value then some hard-stuff encyclopaedia.
Solid practical information.......2002-01-20
"Machining Fundamentals" by John R. Walker is a quality production. What I mean by that is this hardcover book is printed on good paper stock, the text is very descriptive and it is filled with an appropriate number of illustrations and photographs. In addition, the coverage of various topics is scaled to provide information consistent with what a typical reader of a "Fundamentals" book needs. Yeah, I know, what does that mean? Only that lathe, milling, drilling, and grinding operations, including relatively elaborate setups, are covered extensively, while manufacturing automation received a well written single chapter.
What is the value of all of this information ? I purchased the book in anticipation of buying a bench lathe. I found myself reading the book in front of the TV, nodding in acknowledgement, and verbally expressing in ways I'm sure were irritating to my wife, "Oh, so that's how they do that. Duh! Of course that makes sense. Gees, you're kidding me. Why didn't I do that?" And when I was done, I realized how far off the mark I had been in assessing what I would need to upgrade my shop area; better now than after those trucks dropped 20 tons of less than useful equipment in my driveway.
"Machining Fundamentals" won't replace equipment shop manuals, or classroom training and shop experience, but it is a good reference book. As an example, it does a good job of explaining the differences amongst 3 and 4 jaw chucks, Jacobs chucks and collets. The book even explains when they apply, why they apply and how to clean, maintain, inspect and install/remove them. Still, 9 very good pages on lathe cutting tapers, from setting up to measuring and checking, 10 pages on thread cutting, and even a few on cutting threads on tapered surfaces, will not qualify you to knock off a related project. But there is enough there to illustrate how the job is done, which may steer the reader to further detailed research, armed with enough conceptual information to attempt the job, and maybe practice the same type of work for a non-critical purpose while developing hands on experience. I liked the book.

Excellent Introductory Textbook for Novices.......2001-07-31
The previous reviewer probably never read the book very closely. There is no cover page picture for the chapter on the computer numberical control. The chapter starts by describing the differences between manual and computer controlled machining -- hence the picture of a machinist on this page operating a manual machine.
Book Description
- Contains a larger, easier to read two-color format with improved flow between topics.
- Provides clear explanations that build on the strengths which have made this book a standard for more than 25 years.
- Includes an introduction to Statistics which is needed for many technical trades and not offered in most similar texts.
- Presents sufficient material for a very full one-semester course or for two standard lecture courses.

Comment on Previous Review.......2007-09-09
I would like to point out and emphasize that the previous review submitted by Jeffrey Butts is actually in reference to the SECOND EDITION. The third edition is completely revised, expanded, corrected, and much improved. Both editons of the book are available, but the third edition is definitely not the same as the second edition and is substantially better.
Technical Shop Mathematics, 2nd edition.......2007-08-24
Although, I used this book for one of my math classes, and though I got an A-, I was very disopointed to find out by my teacher that that book contained a lot of errors. Either many of the problems just arn't workable or the answers in the back of the book were wrong. I think it's wierd that a college professor would write a math book on the stuff that he teaches and make so many mistakes, not to menchend the fact that the mistakes were missed by all the people who proof read it.
Abought the only things I did like about the book were the fact that it was hardcover, it was compact which made it easer to hold in my hands, it was cheaper than most other hardcover books, and many of the problems -that were workable - I only found in this book.

Insufficient detail.......2005-10-14
The editorial says this book, which assumes you have alredy read Audel Machine Shop Basics, will tell you all you need to know, but it falls far short of the mark.
The book attempts to cover all machine operations, but fails to provide sufficient diagrams and detailed descriptions for all the operations. I will have to buy additional books in order to fill the gaps left by this author.
I would still buy it if, for example, you already know how to set up a lathe to bore the inside of a hole and just need to know the appropriate cutting speeds and want a reminder of relevant machinist tips and tricks. It is also one of the few books on the subject available as an eBook for immediate download. If however, you can wait a day for the delivery of a paperback, choose something else.
Best shop tool operation book I've seen!.......2004-04-06
You can never go wrong with Audel and now they've revised one of the best tool guides ever. I had been looking for really good lathe and cutting tool material to teach my guys and this is it!

A wonderful and poignent book.......2007-09-21
This is about my favorite book in the world. The author paints a wistfull and heart-felt picture of a world, which is, sadly, almost gone. He was the last of a family of English farm-cart and wagon builders, who's craft was the high-end of traditional technical woodworking. This book is beautifully written-both on the sentence level, and in it's loving descriptions of human skill and practical knowledge. I have been a fulltime professional woodworker and student of traditional woodworking for more than thirty years, and this book, more than any other, has helped me understand the connection between what I do, and who I am.
Excellent View into an Esoteric Past .......2006-11-04
A very enjoyable read that allows the reader a peek into an era when people "made things" from start to finish and took pride in their craft. There's also a good bit of information on traditional woodworking and artisanship in general. I highly recommend the book.
The Old Way is the Good Way.......2002-08-09
If you wanted to sit down with a wheelwright from a couple hundred years ago and keep your mouth shut and listen to every bit of wisdom he had to impart ... that's what this book is about. Read (listen) to non-rocket science about what makes a wheel work and how to either make or not make dumb mistakes.
Valuable information about general wood working that applies not only to wheels.
Or if you're a history buff, how wooden wheels once fit into everyday life.
A personal search for meaning in a way of life that has past.......1997-12-28
I found this book to be a wonderful and informative treatise, both as a student and as an amateur woodworker. Sturt's narrative is a measured blend of documentary and moral argument, which is of equal or greater importance now, as when it was first published in 1923. In it, he offers a first-hand account of the historic, geographic, and human context concerning the artisan-producer within the tradition of medieval wood and iron work. I found three main themes within Sturt's work that were particularly pleasing to myself, and which I found relevant to my search for meaning. Firstly, he emphasizes the relationships that arose from the close interactions of a local market, of a close-knit group of workers, and of an artist and his/her medium. Secondly, he rightfully condemns the waste and destruction associated with the Industrial Revolution, while omitting a lament over the changes in the means of production. And lastly, he offers an example of the effectiveness, connectivity, and ingenuity that arises from the intimate interrelationships between workers and their tasks through their tools, between producers and consumers through their products, and between people and their community through a sense of place and a sense of purpose.
