This magazine is a gem and although not the only magazine available on the subject, it is one of a very few worldwide. The contents are of practical use to those who are not metal machinists by original training, yet of necessity, must machine metal; it also is useful to those who are already competent machinists. Machining metal is a skill that society cannot afford to lose as it is still essential to the production of almost every manufactured item. As a scientist building lab equipment and robotic components I find this magazine a very useful source of knowledge and for those who may be contemplating metal working as a hobby or occupation I highly recommend this magazine and it's companion, Digital Machinist. This magazine (like some others) provides extra value by introducing readers to advertisers who supply materials, parts, tools and knowledge that cannot always be easily acquired in any other fashion (even a search of the web). The vast weight of machining knowledge that is behind this magazine, its contributors and advertisers is clear. My only plea is that each issue be longer!Get mag for home or shop metal working. This mag has a diverse range of ideas, projects, and ideas. Great Mag.Bought as a gift for my husband. Very happy with the purchase.
Received faster than expected. Made my husband very happy.This has lots of great ideas for the guy with a lathe and drill press in the basement. Lots of neat ideas for doing things without a major company to back you. Nice for the guy who wants to turn junk into useful items.For those lucky few with a metal shop in their basement, or a long suppressed desire to have a metal shop in their basement, this is an essential read. Of all my magazine subscriptions Home Shop Machinist is the one that I look forward to the most. Home Shop Machinist provides detailed descriptions of projects built by other hobbyists that range from incredibly simple to incredibly complex. Each of the articles is accompanied by numerous photos illustrating each step in the build. The educational value of hearing from other machinists is incredible. If you're into making chips this is the one magazine to scratch that itch.
