Synopsis:

The updated third edition of this text includes new material on the rapidly growing fields of CNC, CIM, CAD, and robotics. The previous editions of this text have helped many students become machinists, through apprenticeship training, vocational schools, and college programs. This new edition presents the state-of-the-art in industrial settings in an easy-to-read format. It is extensively illustrated with photographs of actual machining operations, and graphic illustrations are used to highlight important concepts and common errors and difficulties encountered by the machinist. Many units are designed around specific projects that provide much of the performance experience for the student - and the structure of the text allows an instructor to insert projects more applicable to a specific program. Self-tests appear at the end of most units, and an appendix contains the answers.

From the Back Cover:

“Machine Tool Practices, 9e, effectively provides a concise overview of machine tools and related methods and practices that are found in a number of different industry types that utilize various machining processes. The style of writing and illustrating, combined with the authors’ practical experience and knowledge, has yielded a text that can be read and understood by engineers and technicians alike.”

Murray Therrell, Industrial Mechanical Systems Instructor, Arkansas Northeastern College

 

The Definitive Text!

 

For over 30 years, Machine Tool Practice, 9e, has served as the definitive text to successfully train computer numerical controllers (CNC) and conventional machine operators, general machinists, and tool and tie makers. The book lends itself well to classes that take a combined lecture/laboratory approach, as well as those using it in a self-paced environment.

 

With over 1500 line drawings and 600 new photographs, Machine Tool Practices, 9e, is the best illustrated book in this field. The text emphasizes practical knowledge shop and machine tool technology throughout. The text superbly illustrates the tools, equipment and techniques that students are most likely to encounter in an actual industrial machine shop environment.

 

New to this Edition  

 

Updated to reflect the very latest trends and technology in the machine tool field, the art program in this ninth edition has been completely modernized to reflect the real world environment. In addition, this edition has been accuracy checked and also features:

 

• Expanded CNC content
• Additional CAM coverage
• A new self-test question set in each chapter
• A list of useful websites at the end of appropriate units that refer the reader to state of the art information on cutting tools and machine shop equipment

 

“This book has been the standard for my 30 years experience both as machinist and machining instructor- a proven benchmark as an excellent comprehensive text. This new edition keeps up with new advances in machining and related fields while still providing the solid core of fundamental knowledge, building upon it in a very logical manner”

Richard Granlund, Faculty-Machine Tool, Hennepin Technical College, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota

 

“As the field of machining is constantly changing, a current textbook is critical. [This author team] takes extra care to make this happen.” William Julien, Assistant Professor, Civil, Construction, Industrial and Mechanical Technologies, Hudson Valley Community College
