Small workshops, including those of model engineers, are making increasing use of small vertical milling machines. This book explains how to use vertical milling machines, including lathe milling attachment in a methodical and concise way. This manual includes descriptions of many of the very wide range of operations possible with a vertical mill, photographed examples, plus information on machines, accessories, cutters, chucks, requirements, and methods of work-holding. Tool making and working and milling are well-explained in the areas of graduated scales, cutter speeds, work-holding with difficult shapes, and chuck for milling cutters are well-explained. Topics include the evolution of the vertical miller, flat surfaces, slitting and cutting, Kenway cutting, fluting components, jig-boring, profiling, end-rounding, and gear cutting.
