    1. I’ve been looking at “machine shop fundamentals “ books. It’s one of the better ones.

  2. Oh to answer your question, probably because it "works" using it the "wrong" way most of the time. But when it doesn't, it can be catastrophic (on your knuckles) and that's when you learn it for good.
