I picked up most of my books from my old highschool. The physics teacher didnt understand why i panicked when she responded to my question with 'im just gonna throw em in the garbage'. Of course, i offered them a good home. Im nowhere close to the books right now, but if you PM me in a few weeks, Ill give you a list of titles i have as a suggestion of what to look for specifically.

Im sure they are out of print by now, but you might find some on ebay. Although, when you say toolmaking, is it safe to assume you are already well versed in general machining 101 and want the 201 course material? (A lot of my books are of the general variety) Ive found that any good technical book on amazon is extremely expensive, but, it might be worth it. Accurate Tool Work, by Goodrich and Stanley.

1908 first ed. Is downloadable on Google Books, albeit with a couple scrambled pages. Before anyone starts hootin' and hollerin' about how old these texts are, please remember - if you can't grasp, or better yet execute, the processes from the turn of the century, you can't work accurately today.

I've worked in the early Ford/hot rod business, and can vouch for tenths tolerances being the norm. This was in volume production, circa 1930.

The toolroom work must have been incredible in its accuracy. Rpchristain, Good news from Sheffield & good news for you, trainee toolmakers, congratulations! Just want to say that there has been a major step change in machine shop practice & toolmaking in the last twenty five years or so. I came into engineering when punches & dies where made with die filers & punch shapers, these are completely museum pieces now. After that it was optical ginders & diaformed wheels, split dies, etc & now these have almost completely disappeared.

Wire eroding, punch type EDM & CNC milling have transformed tool & die work. You will learn a lot from the old style text books but most of it won't be relevant in any modern toolroom. Best of luck, enjoy the trade.
