[edit] Reading Material
This is a scan of two chapters from the book Machining Fundamentals on mills. This is a highly illustrated book with lots of different mill configurations and ways of using a mill.
Here are some scans from an older book called the "Metal Working Handbook". I recommend reading the chapter on Measuring Tools at least:
- MetalWorkingHandbook-MeasuringTools-chapter2.pdf.zip
- MetalWorkingHandbook-MillingMachines-chapter13+14.pdf.zip
This site has some more reading material on using mills:

[edit] Videos
We have a set of training videos physically in Bloominglabs for the official machining workshop.
However in the mean-time if you are waiting to take the machining workshop, these MIT training videos are a reasonable introduction to the mill. They are part of a 10 video series on machine tools, these are the lathe videos from this series. They each are about 45 minutes in length.
- [1] - MIT video 1 for the mill
- [2] - MIT video 2 for the mill
- [3] - MIT video 3 for the mill
- [4] - MIT video 4 for the mill
- [5] - A good video on selecting endmills and how to determine speeds to run at
More videos:
- [6] - A listing of milling videos from archive.org
[edit] Replacement Shop Posters and Oiling Charts
Each machine tool station should have a poster board with a detailed oiling chart for the machine and a decimal/millimeter conversion chart among posters. If a machine tool like the lathe or mill is missing necessary posters they should all be available from the Signage page/category on this wiki for re-printing.
