Milling for beginners book, Where?

[andy198712Participant @andy198712]

Hello,

 

does anyone know of a source for this book?

Just got my mill and would quite fancy a book on the subject. Seen many YouTube videos which are great but….

just can’t find one ?!

Do you mean, “Milling for Beginners”, by Jason Balamy of this Parish?

It was being sold by Arc Euro Trade, not sure if it still is ‘tho.

Might be on Amazon or similar???

I think Ketan at ARC was trying to move all his stock of various books to another supplier. I’ll see if I can find out if any of mine have gone with the others.

Failing that Little Machine Shop in the US have it and they have also taken on the rights for both mine and Neil’s books.

A digital subscription will get you almost the same content as the book is mostly what was in MEW.

There’s always the Workshop practice series, there is No 2 and No 35 – the latter might be best. Noel.

Don’t forget the Crowood press book on milling.

Yeah that’s the one, arc and Amazon are sold out in the U.K.

i havnt seen that other book I’ll have a look.

 

something nice about it being about the mill I own ect.

 

thanks Jason I’d appreciate that, and thanks for writing it !

[andy198712Participant @andy198712]

Ordered that book 35, will what it’s like 🙂 £6.95 on Amazon and prime delivered can’t go wrong! (I pay for prime so try to use it where I can)

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

As Andrew has just got a SIEG SX2.7 I expect he wants the book which featured it.

Andrew it would also be worth having a look in the “workshop” section of this site at the “getting the most from your Brushless” which has some up to date suggestions for using these machines  rather than the somewhat dated parts of some of the older books which tend to be based on belt/gear speeds and using HSS tools.

 

Just spoken with Ketan and LMS in teh US would be your best option or Aussie down under have some in stock too.

Also on Amazon.  I can recommend it.  I followed it when I bought my first milling machine (over twenty years ago!) and found it to be easy to follow and I ended up with some useful accessories along the way.

Thanks Jason.
ill have a look at that, like you say, it’s very relevant to me.

 

i do actually have a friend in the states at the moment so could get them to bring it back…..

To add to the other books listed above, there is also “Milling for the Model Engineer” by Stan Bray.

It’s a little dated now (first published in 1990 – so no insert tooling or DRO mention) but the basic info is there. I just found it for just over £6 at ‘Better World Books’ (with free shipping).

Regards,
