Introduction to Machine Tools

This document will introduce some of the basics of machine tool use for prototype fabrication. There are graphics and sections of video that can be accessed throughout the document. After brief explanations of some machining operations there will be hypertext links to short (about 30 second) video clips. All links in italics access video. The links at the head of the documents allow one to jump forward to desired subject matter.
