Precision Machining Technology 2nd Edition

I used this book in tech school in 2013. It’s now 11 years later and I still reference it. So much good info. If you want to teach yourself how to machine this is the book for you. If you want to brush up and a few techniques that you haven’t used in awhile, this is the book for you. Heck if you own any tools you need this book. It will teach you how to run a mill, lathe, how to sharpen drill bits the proper way, fly cut, thread, layout, etc…. and is just a lifelong reference that, to me, is easier to dig into than machinist handbook. Tons of formulas but is written in a very understandable/clear manner.

This is an excellent book. The photography and drawings are excellent and make understanding the topic much easier. All the major areas of machining are covered in this well written book. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to understand modern machining in depth. I have both the hard cover version as well as the Kindle version on my notebook. If you get the Kindle version I recommend using a reader with color capability to take advantage of the photos.

The book is great. Just like stated.

The class i am taking with this book mfg 102 is easy and our instructor goes right from this book and pulls the questions right out of it. Quizlet website has the answers to study.

Good beginner text, definitely good for trade school if your class uses it. Teaches introductory skills about all aspects of machining - from measurement, planning, layout, and basic machining operations. Some moderate details. Won't make you an expert in any particular thing, but is not intended to. For example, they tell you about machining operations in CNC, and what things these machines can do that conventional machines can't, but it won't make you a CNC programmer. I got what I was expecting from this book - foundational skills that I need in my work, that no one had ever taught me - things they assume you know.

We used this throughout my 2 year machining class for conventional and CNC. i have 2 friends who were USN-MR [Machinery Repair] technicians. they both looked this book over and the accompanying project booklet and thought it was pretty good.

My professor wrote the book and provided vast insight to modern machining practices. Never selling.
