Written by three experienced educators and practitioners, Machine
Tool Technology Basics is sure to be a useful tool for anyone
needing to learn about today's machine tool trade. Logically
organized in three sections, it begins with basic metal-removal
operations of conventional machines, progresses to CNC machines,
and finishes with CAD/CAM. Easy to understand and use, this
practical reference keeps operations brief and highlights related
information that is not part of the operation. What's more, you
will find practical examples on basic operations and discussions on
CNC programming and CAD/CAM designing in an easy-to-follow point
form. Beginning machine trades students, industrial machine tool
training, and practitioners who wish to review topics that they
have not used for some time will come to rely on this
information-packed guide.
