"Workshop Techniques" & "Model Engineer's Workshop" The Universal Pillar Tool and its construction (along with a lot of other good information) is described in Workshop Techniques. The book is needed in order to build the tool. It is available at a reduced price when purchasing the castings. We also suggest purchasing The Model Engineer's Workshop Manual - it is hard to find, contains a lot of good information and is well worth the price! |
