Good books for a student machinist?

[robcas631]

Is there any reference to basic machining available on this site?

Most books like these are a good reference source on how to do things. I still have all my Fitting and Machining books from my days as an apprentice back in the early 70's, get them out occasionally to browse through them.

So have I and copies of "The Model Engineer" Dating right back to the 1950s (older some of 'em) Invaluable source of Info and very inspiring when my project isn't going too well.
