A milling machine is a must in the well-equipped hobby workshop of the discerning model maker. But how does one go about using it?

Jürgen Eichardt, who has already presented the highly acclaimed two-volume work "Turning for Model Builders," shows here that milling holds no secrets.

In Volume 1, we learn what to look for when buying a milling machine, how to care for the machine so that it always produces accurate results, and how to add a variety of homemade improvements and useful accessories to it.

The various milling tools and their uses are presented in detail: from finger cutters to metal circular saws, drills, do-it-yourself form cutters and many others. Likewise, the most suitable raw materialein and their peculiarities during machining. And finally, it is about the exact and safe clamping and alignment of workpiece and tool.

Everything is explained in detail and in an easy-to-understand manner and illustrated with around 240 drawings and photos - an indispensable basic book for every hobby cutter.
