Machine Tool Pratices by Prentice Hall

The major objective of this fifth edition is, as in previous editions, to provide a current and richly illustrated text for those students training to become machine operators, machinists, or tool and die makers, either through apprenticeship training, or community college and vocational programs. The content deals with topics usually presented in a combined lecture/laboratory program. However, the text is designed such that it may also be used in a self-paced instructional environment.

We fully realize that the field of machine tools and machining practices has changed greatly over the past few years. Many of the classical processes heretofore considered to be an important component of machinist training are no longer taught or even done in manufacturing, especially in the age of computer numerical control (CNC). However, we feel that the content of this edition continues to verbalize and illustrate the major core subject areas of the machinist's education even though the major thrust of a student's employment may be more oriented toward CNC production machine operation rather than the more general job shop or prototype manufacturing environment.

No matter what directions the field of machine tools and machining practices may take in future years, we remain steadfast in our belief that the content of this edition is both timely and essential to the basic foundation that a student needs in order to effectively participate in the machining area of manufacturing technology.

To better meet the needs of users of this book, the authors made a careful study of the entire contents. Many users of previous editions were consulted and their comments solicited so that the fifth edition could be updated to meet present-day needs of students, instructors, and current industry training standards. Following are some of the special features included in this textbook:

Each section begins with an introductory overview, followed by instructional units with clearly stated objectives. Instructional units in each section contain easy-to-read information and instructions that accurately reflect the state of the art in industrial settings.

The book is extensively illustrated with photographs of actual machining operations. Graphic explanations are used to highlight important concepts and common errors and difficulties encountered by machinists.

Many units are designed around specific projects that provide much of the performance experience for the student. The structure of the book allows instructors to insert easily projects that are more applicable to their specific individual programs.

New and updated illustrations where appropriate.

Introduction to statistical process control (SPC).

Because of the ever increasing importance of CNC, a much expanded coverage on this topic.

Although we have updated this edition to reflect current machining technology, we have preserved essential classical machine shop practice while deleting that which is truly not relevant or no longer used. We feel that the standard machine shop practices that make up the bulk of this edition are still very much relevant to the machining technology field, even in this age of high-technology, computer-supported manufacturing. Students of modern machining technology will still require solid backgrounds in standard practice if they are to understand and appreciate computer controlled and supported machining as well as other high-technology manufacturing processes.

A workbook titled Student Workbook for Machine Tool Practices. We feel that this adjunct publication plays an extremely important part in maximizing the use of the book. The workbook contains process worksheets with projects, alternative projects, and additional tables. These features are keyed to the text material and thus greatly enhance the use of the book as a complete instructional system.

The workbook is project oriented, not a series of exercises in which the student has no real vested interest. The projects, when completed, are all useful devices and as such help to motivate the student. The workbook, together with Machine Tool Practices, provides an orderly, efficient, and complete teaching system that is quite flexible and easy to set up and use for any machine technology training program. Use of the student workbook is highly recommended.
