Mike, The number one book ALL MACHINIST'S should have is "Machinery's Handbook" (yes that's the correct title spelling). The center drawer of most real machinists tool boxes are designed to fit this book. If you can find one (for milling only) "A Treatise On Milling And Milling Machines" attributed to The Cincinnati Milling Machine Co. (mine is from my apprenticeship. copyright 1951 third edition) I'm sure there are later books out there and will be recommended as well. The speed, feed etc. info is readily available from the suppliers tech sections of their catalogs, mostly also on line.
