The Perfect “Next Step” Beyond this Instruction Book
Right now you are holding one of the most complete
instruction manuals ever given away with any machine tool,
regardless of size or price. However, as complete as it is, most
new machinists will have more
questions than can be answered
in a basic instruction guide. The
book, Tabletop Machining, gave
Sherline’s founder, Joe Martin,
the chance to stretch out and
expand these basic instructions to
include much more detail on the
machines and processes related
to working with metal. Naturally,
the book can not provide step-
by-step instructions for your
particular project, but rather it
concentrates on the basics of
metalworking. Armed with the
right facts, tips and techniques,
the machinist can then apply what
is learned to his particular needs.
Information is given on selecting
materials; using a lathe and a
mill; using measurement tools;
coolants; sharpening cutting tools;
using accessories for threading,
indexing and gear cutting; setting
up a home shop and much more.
Plans and instructions for several projects of varying levels
of diculty are provided for beginning machinist so you
can get started.
Creative Inspiration as Well as Instruction
A gallery of photos of superb miniature projects will show
you what others have been able to produce using miniature
machine tools. Seeing these ne projects will set your mind
to work in all sorts of new directions. A history of Sherline
tools is also included. It is written from the point of view
of giving you some guidance if
you’ve ever thought of starting
your own business or taking a
product of your own to market.
Printing Quality You’d Expect

Quest for Perfection

or your shop workbench. Printed

softbound book is packed with
over 400 detail-rich color photos
