When a cut chatters, a tool fails early, a surface finishes rough, or a job runs over cost, guesswork is expensive. Parameter tables give numbers without the reasoning to adapt them when the material, tool, or setup changes, and many capable operators still cannot predict the force, power, temperature, tool life, and finish a given cut will produce.
This comprehensive guide builds every process from its underlying mechanics and carries the theory through to the quantities a professional actually sets. Each idea is developed in clear explanation, demonstrated in fully worked examples with every step and unit shown, and reinforced with practice problems whose answers you can verify from the material itself, so you can engineer machine settings with confidence rather than discover them by trial and error.
Inside, you will learn to:
- Understand how a chip forms and how cutting force, power, and temperature follow from speed, feed, and depth of cut.
- Calculate spindle speed, feed, material removal rate, and machining time across turning, milling, drilling, and grinding.
- Predict and extend tool life, and match tool materials and coatings to the material and the operation.
- Diagnose and control surface finish, accuracy, tolerances, and the causes of poor machinability.
- Program numerically controlled machines and interpret the fits and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing an inspection will check.
- Weigh productivity against tool wear, heat, and cost to find efficient cutting conditions, from a single cut to an automated cell.
Coverage runs from cutting mechanics and tool geometry; through tool materials, coatings, wear, and tool life; turning, milling, drilling, and grinding; cutting fluids and thermal effects; machinability, surface finish, and surface integrity; measurement, tolerances, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; workholding, fixtures, and jigs; programming of numerically controlled machines; non-traditional machining; and the economics, automation, and quality of modern production.
Written for upper-level manufacturing and mechanical engineering students and for practicing engineers, programmers, machinists, toolmakers, and technicians who want the reasoning behind the numbers. Quantities appear in United States customary units with metric equivalents alongside, so the methods transfer to any shop or classroom.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
