Audel Millwrights and Mechanics Guide (Audel Technical Trades Series) 5th Edition

Great book to refresh your self, learn new things.Individuals such as students and persons looking to make a switch or just interested in learning about millwright this is where to start!This book has a vast amount of knowledge !

Incredibly useful and interesting book, especially for a beginner level millwright! I'm the sole maintenance person at a grain elevator where we store, process, package and ship soybeans, so I work on everything from old and new grain processing equipment to air compressors to robotic/pneumatic packaging equipment, and this books covers that range. As I'm learning on the job, this book is exactly what I needed and is perfect to read while I'm getting the practical experience. I imagine it would still have a lot to offer someone with years of related experience, given the range and depth it covers. I've found through asking a million questions of every coworker with any mechanical knowledge and every contractor I work with, that a lot of people may know how to make things work but not always why they work that way, so if you have interest in that this book is also useful for that.

Ive been using the Audel Millwrights Mechanics Guide since the eary 90's and have always found it to be a useful training tool, well written, easy to understand, and easy to teach from.

I have been a industrial mechanic for over 8 years, and one thing you learn, is no matter how much you know, you don't know anything in the grand scheme of things. Learning that is the single most important thing you can do, as being over confident in your abilities, and being a "know it all" will bite you eventually. Saying that, this book helps you fill in those gaps, makes you a better mechanic, and gives you TONS of information in a well written package. If you are just getting into the trade, or a 20 year vet, this book will have something for you. Some of the guys I work with have older revisions of this book, use it all the time, and have over 30 years in the company, it really is that useful.So to summarize, never believe you have nothing else to learn, and pick up this book to round out your resources. You wont regret it.

This is a small hard copy book not full size for 67$

Training Jr. techs on fundamentals. Easy to follow along with.

This is a terrific book. I used it as a mechanical maintenance student in tech school. Since then I have referred to it often as a maintenance tech. I work in a chemical plant and am responsible for a wide variety of equipment. I have found a lot of help in "remembering" how to set or adjust much of it. There is so much information in this book that is valuable to most any maintenance mechanic or millwright. I recommend this book as a learning tool or reference for either job skill.

Thorough, informative, and navigatble. Covers wide range of trades, systems, and detailed information without going to redudant lengths.A must have for the professional craftsman and the garage tinkerer.
