Review: Helpful briefing - I was toying with the idea of getting a vertical milling machine, so I bought this book to see if was really as complicated as I thought. It turns out that all together it is, but that with everything explained clearly and approachably, it was worth having a go. i have now bought the machine; the next step is to accumulate all the other bits like collets and cutters to make it work, which would have been a very hit or miss process without this book. I feel that with this book it will be quite reasonably straightforward; I'd recommend it to anyone else in my position with no access to an evening class and a wish to mill metal. One thing that perhaps should be emphasised; Harold Hall has also produced another milling book in this series which takes the form of a description of all the bits of equipment you need to do milling adequately. It's called 'The Milling Machine - choosing and using' and it is equally helpful and valuable; both books together would be my recommendation - they're so CHEAP! Fantastic value. Review: Best book for getting started - If you are new to milling or thinking about purchasing a milling machine this is the best book I have found for getting started. Rather than diving straight into projects this book starts out by discussing different types of milling machine to help you make the right purchase, then the tools and accessories you might need to make use of it. By the time you have finished you will have a much clearer idea of what you need and what to avoid. An invaluable introduction at a very modest price. Recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 246,825 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 9,466 in Hobbies & Games 20,775 in Home & Garden (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (106) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 1.27 x 20.32 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1854862669 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1854862662 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 126 pages | | Publication date | 28 July 2011 | | Publisher | Special Interest Model Books | ## Images ![The Milling Machine (Workshop Practice): And Accessories, Choosing and Using: 49 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tmbqbqirL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful briefing *by C***E on 7 November 2011* I was toying with the idea of getting a vertical milling machine, so I bought this book to see if was really as complicated as I thought.

Rather than diving straight into projects this book starts out by discussing different types of milling machine to help you make the right purchase, then the tools and accessories you might need to make use of it.

Recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another practical guide for beginners. *by M***H on 25 April 2013* I thought I might be duplicating when buying this book as well as the Vertical milling in the home workshop but the articles are different and complimentary. Another easy to follow guide with lots of photographs to illustrate the meaning of the text. Well worth the cost. A must for the beginner. ## Frequently Bought Together - Milling Machine & Accessories: And Accessories Choosing and Using (Workshop Practice Series) - The Milling Machine for Home Machinists (Fox Chapel Publishing) Over 150 Color Photos & Diagrams; Learn How to Successfully Choose, Install, & Operate a Milling Machine in Your Home Workshop - Milling for Home Machinists (Fox Chapel Publishing) Project-Based Course Builds Skills with 8 Projects for Clamps, Parallels, an Angle Plate, a Dividing Head, a Milling Cutter Sharpener, and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51126555-the-milling-machine-workshop-practice-and-accessories-choosing-and-using](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51126555-the-milling-machine-workshop-practice-and-accessories-choosing-and-using) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
