Forgot to mention that originals of the March Engineering handbook are available
by someone on ebay, £15 plus postage which is what March charged me for mine, so
they are probably ex-March copies from when they closed down.

I'm sitting with my original Clarkson one of 1968 but I would rather
suggest that
the Ebay CD from MaryPoppinsBag be purchased. It's from John
Stevenson's family. The CD contains further tool and cutter grinding
information which may be both clearer and more expansive than the
Clarkson one by itself.
I like the Boxford 'gospel' but again, if you are beginning, I would
join the YahooGroups Quorn_users( 3 sections) as well.
This contains the Deckel stuff in - I think- Quorn3.

Romping on, the recent MEW has Stent stuff to add whilst a few months
ago, the Clarkson was featured.
There is also a bit by a zany old fella who made toolholders for his
Clarkson out of best bits of 2X2" PAR soft wood ex B&Q and nuts and
bolts from that supplier par excellence-- Wilkinsons- but mock modesty
forbids!

Cheers

Norm
