From the Publisher

Each book in The Missing Shop Manual series provides information so you can get the most out of your machines/tools. The “manuals” include set-up and safety advice and go on to cover basic operation and technique information. For example, the Tablesaw manual includes sections on ripping and crosscutting, cutting dados, rabbets and grooves, and has a chapter all about jigs. The books are filled with drawings and photos and come bound with durable covers so they can be used often in the shop. - Fine Woodworking.com

Library Journal

Part of a new series, these small manuals feature clear, useful color drawings as well as photographs. The books are straightforward and focus on the basics—projects are not included. Each saw is dissected to show variations and the components, then blades, maintenance, and accessories are covered. These bare-bones guides are well done and recommended for libraries needing to stretch their dollars. [See Drills and Drill Presses, below; the series also includes Glue and Clamps and Lathe.—Ed.]
