Back cover copy
The latest machining and metalworking processes, tools, equipment, and calculation techniques
Since 1991, the McGraw-Hill Machining and Metalworking Handbook has been an essential source of information for machine designers and machinists alike. Covering a wide variety of subjects, ranging from machine tooling to die making, it is the only professional reference to encompass both machining and metalworking. This updated and expanded Third Edition is the most comprehensive compendium of design data and calculations procedures available.
Arranged in a user-friendly format, the McGraw-Hill Machining and Metalworking Handbook, Third Edition, also covers the latest relevant American National Standards and contains hundreds of photos, tables, charts, and illustrations. New coverage includes:
- Rapid prototyping and manufacturing
- Process optimization
- Product development
- CAD/CAM/CAE
- Product data management
