Precision Machining Technology Handbook: CNC Programming, Metrology, Tooling, and Process Control for Machinists and Manufacturing Engineers

By Jeremiah G. Lyons

Stop guessing. Start holding tolerances.

A drawing says 0.0005 inch. Your machine, your tool, your gauge, and your process all have something to say about that. Most books teach one piece of the problem. This one connects all of them.

Precision Machining Technology Handbook takes you from print to finished, inspected part, with worked examples and calculations at every step.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Read and apply drawings, limits, fits, and GD&T so you know exactly what a tolerance demandsChoose materials, cutting tools, speeds, and feeds from the mechanics of the cut, not from guessworkProgram CNC machines and plan CAM toolpaths, including multi-axis and high-speed workGrind, EDM, and finish hardened and difficult parts to a specified surface textureMeasure with confidence, using gauge blocks, micrometers, CMMs, uncertainty budgets, and gauge R&RControl the process with machine accuracy, thermal and chatter analysis, Cp/Cpk, and X-bar and R control charts

Built for working machinists and manufacturing engineers.

16 chapters, 35 figures, and worked examples with answersPractice problems with solutions at the end of every chapterUS customary units with SI equivalents throughoutGlossary, symbol and equation appendices, and a full index for fast reference

Whether you run the machine, write the program, or sign off the inspection, you will find the method you need and the numbers to back it up.

Scrap, rework, and rejected parts are expensive. Knowledge is not. Buy now, open it today, and put the first example to work on tomorrow's job.
