The fifth and final book in Randolph Bulgin's notable shop series, The Turret-Ram Milling Machine: For the Beginner is a guide to mastering one of the home machinist's most coveted accessories, the vertical milling machine. In Randolph's words: "The vertical milling machine is to a lathe as whipped cream is to strawberries." This guide will whet your appetite. It is fully illustrated with black and white photographs, and written in Randolph's characteristically witty style. Included are clever and useful projects that are designed to help you hone your skills and, as this will be the last book in the series, some other useful extras, such as a chapter on welding. The author is a lifelong machinist whose name is familiar to regular readers of Home Shop Machinist and Machinists Workshop.Other books by Randolph Bulgin in the shop series are Randolph's Shop, Building Shop, In Pursuit of the Perfect Shop, and The Engine Lathe: For the beginner. He is also the author of Puzzles and Peculiarities from the Machine Shop.
This book is intended as a guide for the novice machinist, particularly the hobbyist, with emphasis on the operation of the engine lathe. It takes the reader through the identification and nomenclature of the parts and systems of a standard, non-computer controlled, engine lathe and offers guidance on the uses of the various capabilities of the machine. It also includes descriptions and photographs of various operations typically done on the machine and provides suggestions or plans for simple exercises for the beginner.
