Precision Machining Technology

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

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.

No problem with the book, except it was the wrong edition for my class

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.

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.

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.

soup to nuts training ,career choices , theory ,procedures ,set up etc.great student workbook. for intermediate learners.great price

It's excellent for understanding of machining engineering and job skills.

Book is really good. Too bad the pics are black&white but its still goo for the price.
