Machining and CNC Technology, Third Edition, by Michael Fitzpatrick, will provide the latest approach to machine tool technology available. Students will learn basic modern integrated manufacturing, CNC systems, CAD/CAM and advanced technologies, and how to safely set up and run both CNC and manually operated machines. This is a how-to-do-it text.

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

Reflecting changes in machining practice, Fundamentals of Machining and Machine Tools, Third Edition emphasizes the economics of machining processes and design for machining. This edition includes new material on super-hard cutting tool materials, tool geometries, and surface coatings. It describes recent developments in high-speed machining, hard machining, and cutting fluid applications such as dry and minimum-quantity lubrication machining. It also presents analytical methods that outline the limitations of various approaches. This edition features expanded information on tool geometries for chip breaking and control as well as improvements in cost modeling of machining processes.
