This book is split into two parts, the first is the instructions for making the Quorn Tool and Cutter Grinder, and the second is for using the Quorn Tool and Cutter Grinder. The 'Quorn' is built from castings that are available from "Model Engineering Services" (the details are provided in the book). Even if you are not making the 'Quorn' and you just want to use, this book is still a good buy with 6 chapters on using the 'Quorn'.
