This publication is the newest publication useful as an introduction to grinding applied to manufacture of metal parts. A completely new work that is broader in scope than other training books, Precision Grinding covers the basics including type of abrasives, wheel bonds, grinding fluids, types of grinding machines, as well as special chapters on coated abrasive applications, the basics of CNC grinding, creep feed grinding and electrochemical grinding. The emphasis is upon machining with bonded abrasives. Mr. Repp has made an extensive effort to include up-to-date drawings and photos for this heavily illustrated book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Victor E. Repp is a retired professor from Bowling Green University, who has used the help of the Unified Abrasives Manufacturers Association, Saint Gobain Abrasives, 3M, Cinetic as well as Jones and Shipman to prepare a new textbook on machining with abrasives. Dr. Repp is known for his previous publication Metalworking Fundamentals. Though Precision Grinding is a textbook targeted to post-secondary technical schools, the scope and illustations make it an excellent resource for any private training program or formal curriculum on machining.
