Advice/ good reading on machining/GD&T/manufacture!

[DC31kParticipant @dc31k]

Look up 'Modern Machine Shop Practice' by Joshua Rose.

Also 'Modern Toolmaking Methods' by Franklin Jones.

You will not find GD&T inside them, but that will be about the only thing they are missing.

At the Internet Archive, almost anything with 'Treatise' in the title will assist.

I've always liked Chapman's 'Workshop Technology' – quite an old book now, but it deals with the basic techniques at whatever level you feel like going to.

[Howard LewisParticipant @howardlewis46836]

There are a number of books specifically for the different aspects of model engineering (the Workshop Practice series runs to about 50! ) as well as books on individual machines and their operation.

Plus, as hands on engineer, you will need things like Zeus Charts, or Tubal Cain's "Model Engineering Handbook" for reference.

On a much wider scale, machinery's handbook is a treasure trove of information on almost every aspect of Engineering.
