Machining Solutions

Description

This book is intended to coach a reader through the fundamentals of metal cutting and related best practices, and all the way through some advanced machining solutions. The logical thinking patterns shown, will allow the end user to think on the spot in a stress filled production machining environment, and arrive at confident machining solutions. The content is particularly tailored for machine shop employees such as operators, maintenance personnel, NC programmers, and cutting tool specialists. Additionally, this book is a valuable resource for students, newly hired employees, engineers, research personnel, and instructors. These readers would benefit from:

-In-depth understanding of machining concepts from their origins.

-Immediate direct implementation into everyday jobs.

-Professional growth by way of effective & practical problem solving.

-Learning best practices that have been passed down over the generations.

-Lessons on optimally selecting machine parameters, as well as optimizing processes.

The level of detail has been filtered and organized based on the needs of the end user. This book allows the user to mature their learning from the basic concepts of metal cutting (nomenclature, geometry, speeds & feeds), and relate them with advanced machining solutions (material removal rates, machine selection, balancing, vibrations, tool wear).
