Summary: A Wealth Of Information
Review: Having worked in industry for nearly fourteen years, I am genuinely impressed with this book as it is written for a wide audience, such as the practicing Engineer, Applications Technician, or Tool and Die Maker. There are numerous illustrations to support the mathematics utilized to calculate and plan for shearing forces, punch clearances, material formability, and die design just to name a few. Furthermore, the book would serve as an excellent working reference for any professional in the manufacturing sector as the author gets right to the point of each topic without an overwhelming amount of theory. In addition, the appendix includes a great overview of limits and fits tolerancing, related material standards, a GD&T memory jogger, and unit conversions. It?s almost a steal for the price.

Summary: Interesting
Review: I have to admit that this is really interesting book coming from Industrial Press. With some new ideas and approaches to Die Design and Metal Forming author covers simple but yet essential manufacturing processes and operations. Mathematical formulas are easy to understand and very practical. This book was gift to me but I would recommend this book to any Tool and Die Engineer.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Just last week I got this book. It is really good and helpful book. This is practical guide to the still most commonly used manufacturing methodology for mass producing complex, high-precision parts. Author covers blanking, material economy as well as deep drawing, bending, tooling design, etc. Book has some useful formulas but the most important is that focus is on engineering methods and design. I would recommend this book as a must have for any Tool and Die Engineer and technician.

Summary: Great book.
Review: With more than 20 years in manufacturing, as well as the experience in sheet metals, design, tooling and product reliability, I found this book very useful for students and professionals with mechanical engineering and manufacturing background.The book covers so many manufacturing processes and die designs with relatively short but very clear and concise definitions and explanations, along with many examples and formulas. Both students and professionals will find this book very refreshing, easy to read and understand, and at the same time essential for practical implementation of their theoretical knowledge.
