Practical, hard-won tips for screw-machine work you can use in your shop today.

This book gathers the experience of seasoned machinists to share tools, setups, and work‑holding ideas that help you finish parts more reliably on automatic and turret machines. It covers nuts, recessing, ball turning, chucks, lubrication, and common shop improvements, all shown with plain, actionable descriptions.

From making nuts in a single operation to innovative tool holders and precise forming tools, the pages center on real-world problems and workable solutions. You’ll see photos and sketches that illustrate setups, along with practical notes on keeping chips clear, feeding oil, and maintaining accuracy. The collection aims to provide ready references you can keep in the tool chest or pocket for quick consultation on demanding screw‑machine tasks.

Tools and methods for making nuts, including drilling, chamfering, and finishing in one operation.
Recessing and inside work with new tool-holders and oil‑rich designs to wash away chips.
Ball turning methods that produce precise spheres on screw machines, including rack and turntable concepts.
Innovations in chucks, collets, and bushings, plus practical lubrication formulas to prevent clogging and wear.

Ideal for machinists and shop personnel who work with automatic and turret screw machines, or anyone building reliable, repeatable parts.
