5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for learning GD&T, March 3, 2006

This review is from: Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (Paperback)

This book is an excellent substitute or supplement to a course in geometric dimensioning & tolerancing. GD&T was not taught at the college I attended and this book helped me quickly get up to speed. Within days of using this I was creating proper drawings that accuratly communicated my company's requirements for cast parts. However, the book is probably better suited as a learning tool than it is a reference as it often took some time to look up and find the answer for specific questions.

This book explains clearly the concept of Geometrical Dimensioning & Tolerances and the advantages of applied it to mechanical engineering drawings. It helps you to understand the difference between Geometrical Dimensioning vs Coordinate Dimensioning. A must for Engineering Drawing Standards.

This review is from: Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (Paperback)

This is the most comprehensive beginner book on the subject that I have seen. Includes nice isometric depictions of parts that are critical to visualizing part geometries and how to apply GD&T to them. Highly recommended.
