Part of the "Machinery's Reference Series", this vintage book contains a complete guide to milling fixtures. A fixture refers to support or holding device that is used in manufacturing. Milling is the term used to describe the processes that uses a machine designed to cut or shape metal using a rotating tool. Written in clear, easy-to-understand language and profusely illustrated throughout, this volume is recommended for those with an interest in traditional methods of milling and manufacturing processes in general. Contents include: "Elementary Principles of Milling Fixtures, by E. R. Markham", "Provisions for Removing Chips", "Special Forms of Vise Jaws", "Cams or Eccentrics for Binding Vise Jaws", "Hardening Vise Jaws", "Regular Milling Fixtures", "Examples From Actual Experience", "Principles of Gang Fixtures", "Prevention of Springing Action Fixtures", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
