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 (http://www.abebooks.com/products/isbn/9780831132279)

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 (http://www.alibris.com/books)

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 .
