“This film presents an outline of the practices employed in machining aluminum with hand and machine tools. The picture points out the alloys commonly used – those that are soft and gummy as well as those of the free-cutting type; the proper top and side rake and the correct clearance for the tools; the tool materials and finishes; the use of various types of cutting compounds; the speed and feeds.”
