Description
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.
