This is a well filmed video and everything that is explained is handled well. It is very elementry however and those people with other machine tool experience may find it too basic.
Very good overall. The prints with the DVD do not match the content presented.
This is an excellent video introduction to the Horizontal mill. This class of machine is no longer made for small shops, though old machines remain fairly available. The horizontal mill evolved from a form of milling operation that can be done on lathes, though not as efficiently given the lack of Z axis.
This is not an exciting video, the first cut isn't performed until one is over an hour into the viewing. Still, at the end of the tape, I was left knowing how the machine worked, and wishing I had one. Since this kind of machine is no longer a mainstay, you really don't need this tape in the average machine shop setting. These machines, However, do a lot of work in a very sturdy fashion for their size and cost, so if you like old steel this tape is for you!
