Traditional Machining Technology describes the fundamentals basic elements and operations of general-purpose metal cutting and abrasive machine tools used for the production and grinding of cylindrical and flat surfaces by turning drilling and reaming; shaping and planing; and milling processes. Special-purpose machines and operations used for thread cutting gear cutting and broaching processes are included along with semiautomatic automatic NC and CNC machine tools; operations tooling mechanisms accessories jigs and fixtures and machine-tool dynamometry are discussed. The treatment throughout the book is aimed at motivating and challenging the reader to explore technologies and economically viable solutions regarding the optimum selection of machining operations for a given task. This book will be useful to professionals students and companies in the industrial manufacturing mechanical materials and production engineering fields. . Language: English
