Metal cutting applications span the entire range from mass production to mass customization to high-precision, fully customized designs. The careful balance between precision and efficiency is maintained only through intimate knowledge of the physical processes, material characteristics, and technological capabilities of the equipment and workpieces involved. The best-selling first edition of Metal Cutting Theory and Practice provided such knowledge, integrating timely research with current industry practice. This brilliant reference enters its second edition with fully updated coverage, new sections, and the inclusion of examples and problems.Supplying complete, up-to-date information on machine tools, tooling, and workholding technologies, this second edition stresses a physical understanding of machining processes including forces, temperatures, and surface finish. This provides a practical basis for troubleshooting and evaluating vendor claims. In addition to updates in all chapters, the book features three new chapters on cutting fluids, agile and high-throughput machining, and design for machining. The authors also added examples and problems for additional hands-on insight. Rounding out the treatment, an entire chapter is devoted to machining economics and optimization.Endowing you with practical knowledge and a fundamental understanding of underlying physical concepts, Metal Cutting Theory and Practice, Second Edition is a necessity for designing, evaluating, purchasing, and using machine tools.

'Presents ancient and neo-Latin language phrases and conversations on a variety of topics. Includes pronunciation guide, bibliography, and English to Latin vocabulary. Expanded and enlarged from the 3rd edition (2003)'--Provided by publisher.

New edition (previous, 1975) of a textbook for a college-level course in the principles of machine tools and metal machining. Math demands are limited to introductory calculus and that encountered in basic statics and dynamics. Topics include: operations, mechanics of cutting, temperature, tool life

The first paperbound edition of a previously acclaimed title, this practical volume provides needed guidance on one of the most important methods of removing unwanted material in the production of chemical components. It identifies problem areas and relates performance to fundamentals of physics, chemistry, materials behavior, heat transfer, solid mechanics, and tribology, illustrating how solutions to new machining problems may be achieved by application of scientific principle. The two-dimensional cutting process is analyzed, with special attention paid to cutting temperatures, tool wear and tool life, as well as the integrity of the finished surface. Machining economics and the optimization of processes are explained in fundamental terms, while the complexities of the cutting process are closely scrutinized.

Product Description: Demonstrates the construction of the armature of stop-motion puppets and the technical aspects of how to machine metal into the desired shape. It describes the mill and the lathe, the two main tools used in constructing the armature, and how the anatomical makeup of the puppet determines design...read more

Product Description: Numerous models have been proposed for the study of the dynamic behaviour of cutting tools. An analysis of the main works published over the past 20 years reveal a lack of general methodology in the mathematical modelling of the dynamic cutting process (CP) and in the elastic structure (ES), as well as the absence of efficient and general methods for identifying the conditions under which the amplitudes of the vibration chatter between tool and workpiece can become problematic...read more
