Synopsis

Master the fundamentals of machine shop work with practical, hands-on guidance from Machine Shop Practice. This edition focuses on the essentials of vise work, chisels, and basic hand-tool skills, helping beginners think through each step as they learn to cut, shape, and finish with confidence.



The text builds from everyday shop tasks to the reasoning behind tool use. You’ll see how a flat chisel is shaped, how edge angles affect cutting, and how correct grinding and handling improve accuracy and safety. The material emphasizes thinking through each operation, not just performing it, so you develop solid, transferable skills for the shop floor.




  • Understand the proper angles and use of common chisels, including the flat and cape chisel.

  • Learn how to hold, sharpen, and grind tools for reliable, clean cuts.

  • Explore how the vise, hammers, and simple hand tools work together in basic operations.

  • Gain a practical framework for approaching machine shop tasks with a thoughtful approach.



Ideal for readers starting in trade schools, apprenticeships, or any shop setting who want a clear, real‑world guide to core hand-tool techniques.
