Book Reviews of Tabletop Machining
Book Review: 5 stars if you own a Sherline machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because I am planning on buying a Sherline mill soon. Like the other reviewer said, this book is more like an extended manual for Sherline machines. Which is why I am giving it 5 stars. If you do not own or plan to buy a Sherline machine I think this book will be of much less interest to you. Maybe look for it in the library or a book store and look through it first and see if its really a book you would want to buy. Remember, the author is the owner of Sherline, so every example is using a Sherline machine. He frequently talks about the different machines and accessories Sherline makes. Despite this, he really doesn't come off as sounding like he is trying to sell his machines. But I may be biased since I had already decided to buy a Sherline mill before I bought this book, so he doesn't really need to sell me on anything.
Its an interesting book, the author talks about a lot more than just machining. For example he talks quite a bit about how his company came to be what it is today. I found this interesting. My only complaint about the book are the examples of work done on Sherline machines. It is almost all model cars, model boats, model planes, or their engines. From what I have read of the author, this is the sort of thing he is interested in, but I wish he could have shown a wider range of things made on miniature machine tools. The work is exceptional, its just I wish there was more variety.
If you own or plan to buy a Sherline machine, its a 5 star book. If you don't own or or plan to buy a Sherline machine, then I think the book is maybe 2 or 3 stars.
