Reviews / Votes
"The author's style is excellent in presentation. The quizzes and applications are of great value to the student and instructor." - Jeffrey Hellwig, Alfred State College"The text is rich in content from castings to welding symbols. The text covers all areas of machining without emphasizing one over the other. The illustrations are accurate and appropriate for the content covered." - Pat Carney II, Jackson Area Career Center
