Manufacturing Automation : Metal Cutting Mechanics, Machine Tool Vibrations, and CNC Design

Summary: An essential aid for the serious production engineer
Review: 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.

Summary: This is one of the best engineering books that you could own
Review: 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.
