For introductory Blueprint Reading courses geared to students in the manufacturing trades, such as Machine Operators, General Machinists, and Tool and Die Machinists.
Being able to read and correctly interpret a blueprint is a necessary skill in the industrial world today.

Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, it includes charts, tables, a glossary of terms, and a mathematics appendix to help students comprehend material. This edition features expanded coverage of GDT, more information on profile tolerances and drawings produced in CAD. Designed for those in a manufacturing trade, this is a straightforward resource that helps prepare students to enter the industrial field of work.
