Every precision part, a shaft, a bearing seat, a mold cavity, a threaded fastener, passes through a cutting or grinding operation that sets its final size, form, and finish. Too often, the speeds and feeds behind those results are chosen by trial and error at the machine.

When a cut chatters, a tool fails early, a surface finishes rough, or a job runs over cost, guesswork is expensive. Parameter tables give numbers without the reasoning to adapt them when the material, tool, or setup changes, and many capable operators still cannot predict the force, power, temperature, tool life, and finish a given cut will produce.
This comprehensive guide builds every process from its underlying mechanics and carries the theory through to the quantities a professional actually sets. Each idea is developed in clear explanation, demonstrated in fully worked examples with every step and unit shown, and reinforced with practice problems whose answers you can verify from the material itself, so you can engineer machine settings with confidence rather than discover them by trial and error.

Inside, you will learn to:

Understand how a chip forms and how cutting force, power, and temperature follow from speed, feed, and depth of cut.
Calculate spindle speed, feed, material removal rate, and machining time across turning, milling, drilling, and grinding.
Predict and extend tool life, and match tool materials and coatings to the material and the operation.
Diagnose and control surface finish, accuracy, tolerances, and the causes of poor machinability.
Program numerically controlled machines and interpret the fits and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing an inspection will check.
Weigh productivity against tool wear, heat, and cost to find efficient cutting conditions, from a single cut to an automated cell.

Coverage runs from cutting mechanics and tool geometry; through tool materials, coatings, wear, and tool life; turning, milling, drilling, and grinding; cutting fluids and thermal effects; machinability, surface finish, and surface integrity; measurement, tolerances, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; workholding, fixtures, and jigs; programming of numerically controlled machines; non-traditional machining; and the economics, automation, and quality of modern production.

Written for upper-level manufacturing and mechanical engineering students and for practicing engineers, programmers, machinists, toolmakers, and technicians who want the reasoning behind the numbers. Quantities appear in United States customary units with metric equivalents alongside, so the methods transfer to any shop or classroom.

Store description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
