Metal cutting is one of the most widely used methods of producing the final shape of manufactured products. This text treats the scientific principles of metal cutting and their practical application to manufacturing problems. The author uses mathematics, physics, computers, software, and instrumentation as integration tools in analyzing machine implements and manufacturing processes. A special feature is the in-depth coverage of chatter vibrations, a problem experienced daily by practicing manufacturing engineers. The essential topics of programming, design, and automation of CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools; NC (numerical control) programming; and CAD/CAM technology are fully discussed. Each chapter includes industrial examples, design projects, and homework problems.

Review
"...the book has the advantage of involving a quantitative coverage of the topics, something lacking in other similar books. The language is simple and clear, and so are the illustrations....certainly a good addition to the manufacturing engineering library." --Choice
"The book is well written, and the sequence of subjects is perfect...This reviewer recommands Manufacturing Automation: Metal Cutting Mechanics, Machine Tool Vibrations, and CNC Design as a textbook for students, undergraduaate as well as graduate. It can also serve as a excellent reference book for those engaged in manufacturing, ie, engineering, technicians, and other practitioners." Applied Mechanics Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars
An essential aid for the serious production engineer,
By Peter Haenle (Stuttgart Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manufacturing Automation: Metal Cutting Mechanics, Machine Tool Vibrations, and CNC Design (Paperback)
Due to my job I am forced to read a lot of technical literature. I never got as much technical up-to-date information explained in such an intelligible way. Compared to other books dealing with manufacturing processes (which are mostly written by scientists in a very, very scientific way), in this book you've got the impression that the author virtually tells you the modern fundamentals of manufacturing. This makes this book easily understandable. Nowadays, High Speed Machining is well established in manufacturing. The future will bring High Performance Machining which means that the metal removal rates are significantly higher at high cutting speeds. As far as High Performance Cutting is concerned, this book covers also the theories of the dynamic behaviour of the cutting process. Therefore, chatter is of great importance. The author explains the two present "Chatter Theories" in detail and enables the reader to perform his own calculations on process stability. I strongly recommend this book to all engineers and students of mechanical engineering who want to know the latest scientific results explained in a comprehensible way. This book is a must in the bookcase.

This is one of the best engineering books that you could own,
By Michael Martens (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Manufacturing Automation: Metal Cutting Mechanics, Machine Tool Vibrations, and CNC Design (Paperback)
If you are a machinest or a production engineer who keeps asking the question "WHY" then this is the book for you. This book gives you a good engineering back ground into the understanding of machining and the back ground to start building your own CNC machining center. A must have for any production engineer.

ONE OF THE BEST MANUFACTURING BOOKS OUT THERE,
By
This review is from: Manufacturing Automation: Metal Cutting Mechanics, Machine Tool Vibrations, and CNC Design (Paperback)
I had the great fortune of taking a course with Dr. Altintas at the University of British Columbia and I have to say that he is very thorough in his teaching methodology.
This was the textbook for the course and we covered most of it... I have to say that the book is very thorough and really teaches you in a practical way. The contents are very up-to-date and full with his own research results (which are cutting-edge). Also, the book's price has been kept very reasonable so that it is "student friendly".
