Sinopsis
How to master vise work and essential hand tools for machining
This practical guide introduces beginners to vise work, chisels, and the habits of careful, thoughtful practice in the shop. It explains how a good chisel angle and steady holding improve cutting quality and durability, and it emphasizes the why behind each step as much as the how. The book covers chisels and related forms, including the flat chisel made from octagonal tool steel and shaped to make handling easier on level surfaces. It explains the edge and facet geometry, including how a 70-degree overall edge angle, with about 35 degrees of edge bevel for guiding the cut, supports efficient and safe work. The discussion also covers why a wood chisel uses a different approach and how to adapt technique for metal. You’ll find guidance on shaping and grinding, choosing the right forms, and using the facet as a guide to steady cutting. The material also introduces the cape chisel and other common forms, along with notes on hammers, the vise, and general chipping practice. The goal is to help the apprentice build thinking-through-work habits that lead to reliable progress and skill development. What you’ll experience:
- Foundational techniques for chipping and tool control in metalworking
- Guidance on proper edge angles, facet use, and holding positions
- Descriptions of common chisel forms and their best applications
- Connections between tool shape, cutting efficiency, and work quality

Excerpt from Machine Shop Practice: A Manual for Apprentices and Journeyman Machinists, and for Use in Trade, Industrial and Technical Schools
In preparing this text the author has endeavored to present the fundamentals of Machine Shop Practice rather than to produce a complete or advanced treatise. Above all, he has desired to lead the pupil in the shop to think and not merely to do. For this reason, the why of each step or operation is emphasized quite as much as the how. If the apprentice or the trade student can once be imbued with an attitude of thoughtfulness and investigation in connection with his work, his future progress toward skill and efficiency may be regarded as assured.
The material is drawn mainly from mimeographed notes which were tried out for over twelve years in the shops of the School of Science and Technology, Pratt Institute. With the desire, however, to meet more closely the needs of the increasing number of secondary technical and industrial schools offering machine shop instruction, the original text in which these notes were published has been carefully revised by Mr. J. A. Chamberlain, Supervisor of Manual Training in the schools of Washington, D. C. It is believed that the value of the book as a practical manual for apprentices and journeyman machinists has in no respect been lessened in this revision, while at the same time the order of treatment and the time demanded for the completion of the work laid down have been brought to a closer agreement with the conditions under which machine work is taught in the secondary school shop.
