The "bible" though, is "Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy" by Moore. Machinery's Handbook is more of a practical reference used in the shop (like when you want to know what a certain spline or thread profile should look like), whereas Foundations is more theoretical.
Is there a good book for sheet metal bending? There are lots of things I'd like to make, but when I think through it, the bends always run into each other (at least in my head). Which is why I haven't bought a break yet. Would love to learn the basics about tools, marking, cutting. (My cuts always drift, and deform the metal, would like to learn how to NOT do that.)
