Description
Number of Pages: 40, printed 5.5″ x 8.5″
This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Delta Getting the Most Out of Your Abrasive Tools book. This is a complete handbook covering the use of abrasive tool operation in the home workshop with over two hundred photographic illustrations and line drawings. Please see index below.
I’ve reprinted some of these older books is because they have a lot of information with illustrations that get directly to the point.
This book is part of a series that we have on our site:
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SHAPER
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DRILL PRESS
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR LATHE
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CIRCULAR SAW AND JOINTER
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR ABRASIVE TOOLS

Overview:
I have collected this information for many years and have found the information they contain to be priceless in using and setting up the machines properly. I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find. My manuals are not photocopies. I maintain a high standard of quality in my reproductions. Most of the manuals I reproduce look better than their originals. I have professionally digitally edited every page, and removed stains, wrinkles and handwriting. All of the manuals are printed on thick white paper to withstand shop wear and tear.
