Machinery's Handbook

Product Information

New to this edition … micromachining, expanded material on calculation of hole coordinates, an introduction to metrology, further contributions to the sheet metal and presses section, shaft alignment, taps and tapping, helical coil screw thread inserts, solid geometry, distinguishing between bolts and screws, statistics, calculating thread dimensions, keys and keyways, miniature screws, metric screw threads, and fluid mechanics. The Machinists’ And Draftsmen’s Handbook was first printed in 1899 and much of the content is just as relevant today as it was when originally printed.

A good example of this is the use of M-codes. One dual spindle CNC Lathe may use the M-code M110 to open the collet of the sub spindle while another may use M220. Table of contents and indexes for material only available in the Digital Edition, as well as useful standalone indexes of standards and materials throughout this expanded edition.

The first edition was written in 1917 and over 100 years later, it is still the best reference book available. Most modern CNC machines are based on FANUC G-Code with extra commands and cycles that are exclusive to the make or model of your machine.During the decades from World War I to World War II, these phrases could refer to either of two competing reference books: McGraw-Hill's American Machinists' Handbook or Industrial Press's Machinery's Handbook. The former book ceased publication after the 8th edition (1945). (One short-lived spin-off appeared in 1955.) The latter book, Machinery's Handbook, is still regularly revised and updated, and it continues to be a "bible of the metalworking industries" today. Amidst the chapter on formulas and geometry, there’s a section on calculation of circles within a circle. Say you’re trying to figure out how many burritos you could fit into a large tube. Assuming that you can’t just squish them in there- for that would be cheating, not to mention messy as hell- three factors have to be taken into consideration: the arrangement of the center or core burrito; diameter of enclosing burrito when outer layer of burritos is complete; diameter of enclosing burrito when outer layer is not complete. This is followed by “Table 1: Number of burritos contained in complete layers of burritos and diameter of enclosing burrito.” Then follows an uncomfortably large number of ugly-looking equations and another baffling table or two. And if that isn’t enough of a challenge, the next section shows how to fit burritos into a rectangle. urn:oclc:record:802251511 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier machineryshandbo0000unse_f4b1_29edition Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s21b4w8z3h2 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781613448595 Machinery's Handbook is apparently [ weaselwords] the direct inspiration for similar works in other countries, such as Sweden's Karlebo handbok (1st ed. 1936).
