Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional, 1859

This handbook aims to provide machinists, technicians and design engineers with accurate information on the modern techniques and procedures essential to achieving the highest quality in machining and metalworking. The "Handbook" is a compendium of the most up-to-date design data and calculation procedures available, with information arranged in a logical, user-friendly format. It covers practical topics - from safety procedures and the latest ANSI standards, to the latest metal-cutting practices and the newest polishing compounds. In addition, drawings, photographs and tables amplify the most currently used machinery, tools, parts and techniques. The "Handbook" offers machinists current information on modern equipment, processes, and tools, and the latest calculation techniques. It provides the formulas needed to calculate machining times and the procedures required to use high-speed manufacturing tools. Engineers should gain insight into new develoments in pneumatics and hydraulics and should benefit from extensive design data and coverage of fastening and joining techniques, plating procedures and other applications.
