    Default Modern Toolmaking Methods - A Treatise by Franklin D. Jones

    Hi

    Does anyone here have this book ? It must be a good book, it has been in publication since 1915

    Most of the machining technology we are using was invented by 1915 . It been improved of course , but the concepts are the same .

    Hi Mike,
    Are you sure its "been in publication since 1915" there are at least two companys now scanning old books and reprinting them. Googles busy scanning every book they can lay their hands on also(or have they given up on that?). I have a couple, while most of it is at least interesting if not useful, some of it is um shall we say "not considered worlds best pratice" these days. My favorite so far is to give tool steel an extra hard edge quench in mercury

    I've never heard that one! My favorite is HSS with uranium in for added cutting abilities Especially good for you is the grinding dust when you sharpen it!
