Surprisingly complete and easy to understand book that
can be used to supplement training on the job for beginners, and a nice
reference for those with a year or so on the job. Machining and
measurement principles and techniques clearly explained.
 A nice easy to understand supplement for newcomers to machining.
I was genuinely surprised to find some really great nuggets like
"the Basic Nomenclature of Measurement " which clearly defines:
- Nominal size
- Allowance
- Limits
- Tolerance
- Basic Size
- Unilateral Tolerance
- Bilateral Tolerance
- Precision
- Accuracy
…in just a little over a page.
Nice graphics, sample calculations, and well done explanations on how
to read a micrometer, vernier, as well as tables with feed and speed
data for various types of materials for specific machining operations.
very focused coverage of the essentials of the topics.
Do not confuse this book for a hobbyist project catalog.
This is a very clear and understandable text that explains the "how,
why, and what" of machining and the use of tools of our craft.
Nice photos too.
What I like the most is how the author really distills the information down to useful essentials. And makes them understandable.
