Machinery's Handbook (Large print edition)

Product Information

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.

Metal casting and molding: new information for working with iron, steel, nonferrous metals, and alloys, metal casting and molding processes, and modeling and design considerations. Additive manufacturing: expert discussions, exploring 3D printing materials, techniques, and workflow, compare traditional machining to today's additive manufacturing processes.Hundreds of Standards Updates: All ASME and ANSI standards material has been reconfirmed and revised to provide the latest industry specifications, including the game-changing ASME Y14.5-2018 standard .

Metal Casting and Molding: New information for working with iron, steel, nonferrous metals, and alloys, metal casting and molding processes, and modeling and design considerations. Speeds and feeds calculate for milling, turning and drilling; cutting speed, spindle speed (RPM), feed rate (IPM), cutting feed, feed per tooth/chip load, number of teeth and radial chip thinning adjustment factor. Of course, a book crammed with so much information would be unreadable were it not for the profuse amount of tables, charts, diagrams and illustrations. But even with the visual aids, there are certain topics that make my eyes glaze over, as interesting as they initially appear to be. Metalworking Processes: More on brazing, soldering, welding, nondestructive testing, forming sheet metal, mill finishes, passivation, electropolishing, and plating.Enter numeric, fractional, metric thread sizes and drill sizes - and display tap, roll tap, close and free fit drill sizes plus pitch, major and minor diameters. The detailed tables of contents located at the beginning of each section have been expanded and fine-tuned to make finding topics easier and faster. Installation Note: While we have eliminated use of a CD-ROM drive, an Internet connection still is required for setup of the Machinery’s Handbook 31 Digital Edition.

Bolt pattern hole layouts: enter start angle, number of bolts, diameter and optional x, y offset; calculate x and y coordinates. Find center-to-center spacing for bolt pattern layouts. 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. Hundreds of standards updates: all ASME and ANSI standards material has been reconfirmed and revised to provide the latest industry specifications. CalcPro 2 Bundle Sets includes a Machinist CalcPro 2, a dedicated handheld machining math and reference tool providing a complete assortment of machine shop solutions. Wire measure: enter wire size (or use calculated Best Wire size) and 3-wire measurement to calculate pitch diameter.Thousands of revisions: a world-class team of technical experts, educators, editors, and illustrators has contributed to new, revised, and updated text, tables, equations, figures. Manufacturing and Materials: Additional information on utilizing today’s plastics, powder metallurgy standard and tool steels, manufacturing stresses, and preventing corrosion.

Machinery dealt with the practice of using metalworking to build machines and the role of machines in manufacturing. The editors published articles about making and using various metals. And they provided descriptions of machines and processes. The magazine included diverse advertisements (see the photo at right) for machine tools, sponsored by the fast-growing, technology-driven companies that propelled the Industrial Revolution. Throughout, emphasis was placed on the need for pragmatic information. Developing, building, and improving machines, mechanisms, and processes with practical advice was an early recurrent theme. It served the legendary entrepreneurial spirit of young America. Due attention also was paid to the theory and nascent science of mechanical and industrial engineering. 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.Machine Elements and Operations: Updated and expanded coverage of CAD/CAM operations, boring, nontraditional cutting methods, O-rings and glands, and transmission chains. Math, Measurement, and Dimensioning: Reorganized, revised, and expanded sections provide ready access to clear information, essential formulas, and everyday calculations and conversions.
