I bought this book for my older son, who is a professional welder and beginning machinist. He tells me that the manual provides much valuable information that has helped him in his work. It's one of the best books of its kind, with solid information presented in an understandable way.
Great revision-must have for the toolbox!

Every shop should have this book, whether you're one person or a huge plant. Audel is a great name. I'm recommending this to all the guys on the floor. You can even use it if you're a handy homeowner-I do!
