Basic Machining Reference Handbook

As a comprehensive and easy-to-use hands-on source. Basic Machining Reference Handbook is intended to serve as a memory jog for the experienced, as well as a reference for programmers and others who will not do the machining but do need to know exactly what's involved in performing a given machining step, a series of steps, or a complete job. The new second edition features expanded chapters on numerical control and computerized operations, additional speeds and feeds tables, general troubleshooting concepts, and a basic review of relevant computer terms and applications. Logically organized, this time-tested reference starts with those machining steps that most often begin the machining process and moves through the basic machining operations. It is a must-have resource for experienced machinists; programmers; tooling, design and production engineers; and students.
