Offering complete coverage of the technologies, machine tools, and operations of a wide range of machining processes, Machining Technology presents the essential principles of machining and then examines traditional and nontraditional machining methods. Available for the first time in one easy-to-use resource, the book elucidates the fundame

Emphasizing the processes and underlying technical information of basic machine tool technology, this text applies theory to actual examples. It explores machining and measuring processes, reviews safety practices, and describes the material science needed by the machinist.

For a basic, one-semester Machine Shop course at the undergraduate level; an ideal adjunct text for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) instruction. A perfect starter text for future machinists, this detail-oriented yet easy-to-read guide offers step-by-step coverage of the basic machine tools and processes that have led to the development of precision numerically controlled machine tools. Written by an author with over 25 years of experience in mechanical technology, it helps students understand the material and machines of their trades more fully, and will give them the tools necessary to solve a variety of problems encountered in their particular fields. The emphasis is on the manual machining processes needed for work in CNC.

For students in technical institutes, junior colleges, and other such institutions.
