Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] MACHINE TOOL RECONDITIONING Book

Hi Norm,
Just received the Reconditioning book in the mail today by Priority.
Thanks for getting the Hardbound cover one. It was worth it.

For anyone curious about it. Its FAR from boring, contrary to what some
people here have said in the past. Has Plenty of Pictures and diagrams to
represent the point in almost each section. Its format sort of reminds me of
the Machinist Handbook style. The info is very clear! Much better than a
LOT of books I have read / referenced.

I think it'll be perfect for helping out my old Rockford mill. Thanks Norm!

525 pages - 76 pictures - Averaging 15 to 20 illustrations per chapter from
what I can see flipping through it.

But I'll still be drinking Go-Juice for those Project Binge days!

Vince
