This all new handbook is the most comprehensive and authoritative reference available on CNC machining centers and their capabilities, commonly used CNC commands, and CNC related tooling for the production of precision machined components. Written for programmers, engineers, and operators, it provides a ready reference for basic theory, production data, and machining procedure. Both apprentices and experienced operators and programmers will find this invaluable reference an essential source for all their needs.
  • Analyzes entire machining systems while covering milling, boring, turning, grinding, and related CNC tooling.
  • References individual CNC commands by graphical representation of the toolpath and the surfaces produced.
  • Every generic command is cross-referenced by industry standard CNC machine formats and illustrated by the surface, machine movement, or toolpath that results from using the individual commands.
  • Allows users of precision machining centers and high-rate material removal systems to become better and more successful programmers.

1.0 out of 5 stars A sloppy and oversimplified overview of CNC, February 5, 2000
This review is from: CNC Machining Handbook: Basic Theory, Production Data, and Machining Procedures (Hardcover)
This book tries too hard to cover all aspects CNC and all types of CNC machining. It fails on both fronts. Conversational programming methods are woefully simplistic and often inaccurate. The diagrams are confusing and repetitive. There are not enough examples of actual CNC programs and proper explanations of each individual code. There are far better CNC books on the market. Anyone with no CNC background will gain little form this book. Those with CNC experience will shake their hands and correct the numerous mistakes in the text.

1.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe I bought this book..., December 3, 2000
This review is from: CNC Machining Handbook: Basic Theory, Production Data, and Machining Procedures (Hardcover)
Very poorly orginized. Concepts are referenced before being introduced. Explanations are at best superficial. Elemental information is nonexistent. Numerous mistakes in the text and diagrams. Feels like extra information thrown just to bulk it up.
