 It is not every day that a new handbook for machinists and metalworking community appears, but the recently published MODERN MACHINE SHOP Handbook for
the Metalworking Industries is a welcome new addition to the literature. In it you will find a wide range of reference tables covering all aspects of machining, properties of materials, and dimensions of tooling and machine components, plus some unique topics
including accuracy in machining centers, high-speed machining, HSK tooling, coordinate measuring machines, encoders and probes, and waterjet machining. Other topics covered in detail are exotic materials (including superalloys and composites), adhesives, threading operations, CNC canned programs, balanced tooling, superfinishing, and precision machining with lasers.
This new handbook was compiled with two basic goals in mind: To provide a fresh approach, and to include coverage of a wide range of technologies that are essential to speed and accuracy in machining. Providing the fresh approach was achieved by writing the text in a very reader-friendly manner, and by making sure that the illustrations were carefully selected to help explain the text.
Another great feature that makes this book exceptional is the information that has been contributed by leading practitioners, and by the companies that produce the tools, machines, and raw materials used in manufacturing. Their input has been invaluable because it has provided the information that is most often needed on the shop floor—from the basics to some very sophisticated techniques that can make positive contributions to productivity.
MODERN MACHINE SHOP'S HANDBOOK FOR THE METALWORKING INDUSTRIES provides a balanced blend of traditional and modern topics. In addition to containing a wide range of reference tables covering all aspects of machining, composition of materials, and dimensions of tooling and machine components, this is the first machinist's reference to cover such topics as
- Accuracy in machining centers
- High-speed machining
- HSK tooling
- Coordinate measuring machines
- Encoders and probes
- Waterjet machining.
In addition, this all new handbook supplies unequaled coverage of machining techniques, exotic materials including superalloys and composites, adhesives, threading operations, CNC canned programs, balanced tooling, superfinishing, and precision machining with lasers.
