Book excerpt: Excerpt from Machine Tools and Workshop Practice for Engineering Students and Apprentices The next essential is a thorough grip of the principles under ]ying the action of modern machine tools, and of the methods employed to standardise and specialise work. For instance, the tendency is to use the lathe largely as a roughing-out machine, whilst the grinding machine, along with limit-gauges for standard size of interchangeable parts, takes the place of the fitter, except in general work. Working to limit-gauges is found to be less expensive than using single accurate gauges, and further reduces the cost of erection of the parts of a machine.
