Machine Tool and Manufacturing Technology
A more general textbook than Grinding Technology above, this book is an introduction to machining as part of manufacturing technology. It is useful for training technical personnel who need an overview of machining concepts covering both traditional and new machine tools. Coverage of grinding is limited to basics of bench and belt grinders and surface grinding machines. With a focus on metalworking applications, this 692-page book covers topics such as measurement, cutting fluids, inspection tools, safety, and basic machining concepts needed by machinists and their supervisors. The book contains 60 educational units with lots of illustrations, many hands-on exercises related to machining and summaries of essential knowledge.
The textbook objectives as outlined by the authors are:
  • Understanding the development of tools throughout history
  • Identify three catagories of machine tools
  • Identify space-aged machines and processes developed since the second industrial revolution
Appendixes include tables of machining math and forumulas. A lab manual and instructor's resource guide are available.
The authors are all well known authorities in training for machine tool technology. Steve Krar is known for his work on over 45 textbooks including the book above as well as Superabrasives: Grinding and Machining, Machine Shop Training, and CNC Technology and Programming. Rapisarda is a writer and producer whose work inlcudes Precision Metal Technology. Check has coauthored works such as Technology of Machine Tools and Machine Shop Fundamentals.
