Mastering Woodworking Machines ("Fine Woodworking" Books)

Not a new book, but a good book. I’ve appreciated this authors instruction on how to setup a radial arm saw. Very helpful.

Sent as a gift for my stepfather who has been working with wood as a hobbyist for decades. He loved the book.

I bought this for my husband who plans to spend his retirement doing woodworking projects. He has dipped in and out of it so far and feels it will be a good reference manual when the time comes. He has had some previous experience of small projects in the past.

This is easily the best book I have found so far on woodworking equipment, The author really knows his stuff, and does a GREAT job of passing on his knowledge to his readers, explaining the "why" along with the "how". If you only buy one woodworking equipment book, this is the one to get.

This book is awesome! Bought for a college fabrication safety lab. Lots and lots of useful information. It's a nice book to flip through.

A must for anyone that buys used equipment. Good info for tuning equipment when you lack an owners manual and cannot find info on vintage machines. Truth is the vintage equipment was much better made than the disposable stuff made today. This covers tuning on many machines in a generic way, but I found it totally applicable to the solid machine of the past.

Easy to read and understand.

Excellent reference book for the woodworker with a complete shop. Tools covered include table saw, band saw, radial arm saw, planer, jointer, and router table.
