The Handbook is now on CD-ROM!

MODERN MACHINE SHOP'S HANDBOOK FOR THE METALWORKING INDUSTRIES is filled with over 2,300 pages of valuable metalworking information, and is the first book of its kind to cover such topics as: accuracy in machining centers; high-speed machining; HSK tooling; coordinate measuring machines; encoders and probes; CNC canned programs; superfinishing; precision machining with lasers; and waterjet machining. In addition, it supplies unmatched coverage of composite materials, superalloys, adhesives, and threading, plus speeds and feeds charts for modern cutting materials. MODERN MACHINE SHOP'S HANDBOOK FOR THE METALWORKING INDUSTRIES is a balanced blend of traditional and modern topics, in addition to containing a wide range of reference tables covering all aspects of machining.

In compiling MODERN MACHINE SHOP'S HANDBOOK FOR THE METALWORKING INDUSTRIES, we kept two basic goals in mind: to provide a fresh approach, and to include coverage of a wide range of technologies that are essential to speed and accuracy in machining. Providing the fresh approach required writing the text in a very reader-friendly manner, and making sure that we chose illustrations that help explain the text, which is a primary reason for choosing it over its competitors. Furthermore, the book is thumb indexed for easy maneuverability, and it has a special trim size of 4 5/8"x7" to fit easily in a Machinist's bench drawer.

We have tried very hard to make this book the first place a machinist will look for critical up-to-date information on tooling or exotic materials, or for traditional reference tables and charts. The contents are very well balanced, and we are confident it will become a great asset to machine shops and manufacturing plants around the world.
