Precision Machining Textbook

By Ryan Phlean

Precision machining demands more than knowing which button to press.

You must understand the machines, measurements, materials, and decisions that turn raw stock into an accurate finished part.

Precision Machining Textbook gives you a structured path from essential shop principles to manual machining, CNC programming, inspection, and modern quality control. Whether you are a machining student, apprentice, technician, instructor, or working machinist, this practical reference will help you build the knowledge needed to plan operations, prevent costly errors, and produce components with greater confidence.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Apply machine-shop safety, PPE, guarding, and lockout/tagout practicesUnderstand engineering materials, heat treatment, machinability, and tool selectionInterpret blueprints, dimensions, tolerances, datums, and GD&T symbolsUse micrometers, indicators, gauge blocks, height gauges, and CMM principlesSelect cutting tools, workholding devices, speeds, feeds, and depths of cutPerform drilling, turning, threading, tapering, milling, grinding, and finishing operationsUnderstand CNC coordinate systems, tooling, offsets, G-code, M-code, and multi-axis conceptsApply inspection, statistical process control, calibration, traceability, and continuous improvementRecognize common machining defects and choose effective corrective actions

Organized into 16 progressive chapters and supported by detailed black-and-white instructional infographics, the book connects foundational theory with real machine-shop applications. It also introduces the professional standards, documentation practices, and quality systems used throughout modern manufacturing.
