{ "item_title" : "Precision Machining Technology & CNC Production Handbook", "item_author" : [" Michael A. Smith "], "item_description" : "A part can come off a capable CNC machine looking perfect and still fail inspection. When that happens, the cause is rarely a single skill. It is usually a gap between how the part was held, cut, programmed, measured, and documented.Most machinists learn these disciplines in separate pieces: print reading in one place, G-code in another, inspection and quality paperwork somewhere else. The result is a setup choice that quietly undermines a measurement, a program that drifts as the machine warms up, or a control chart nobody trusts.This handbook treats precision machining as one connected discipline. It follows a single machined aluminum bracket from its engineering drawing through fixturing, tooling, programming, inspection, and process control, keeping the same numbers throughout, so you can see how a decision made at the vise shows up on the inspection report. Every chapter includes at least one fully worked, numbers-in-numbers-out example and a Mistake Autopsy that traces one plausible error to its root cause and the rule that prevents it.Inside, you will learn how to: Read engineering drawings and GD&T callouts, including datums, material condition modifiers, and position toleranceChoose workholding, fixtures, toolholders, and cutting tools to suit the feature and tolerance in front of youSelect the right measuring instrument and understand calibration, traceability, and gage repeatability and reproducibilityWrite, read, and verify G-code programs, work offsets, tool length offsets, and cutter compensation before the first cutCalculate speeds, feeds, chip load, and spindle power, and diagnose tool wear and thermal drift by their actual causeBuild control charts, run Cp, Cpk, and Ppk capability studies, and complete a first article inspection reportConnect overall equipment effectiveness, preventive maintenance, and tooling cost per part to shop-floor performanceEight parts cover foundations and print reading, workholding and tooling, precision metrology, CNC programming and machine control, process control and optimization, quality assurance and inspection, shop-floor performance and management, and a capstone that follows one complete job from start to finish. Appendices add formula and conversion references, machinability and cutting data, tooling and fastener charts, gage guidance, setup and inspection checklists, a troubleshooting guide, and a glossary. Units are US customary, with metric equivalents where useful.Written for CNC operators and setup machinists moving toward programming or inspection, apprentices and technical-college students, quality inspectors, process and manufacturing engineers, and shop supervisors who want one reference that connects the whole job.Add this handbook to your bench and work through the same part, the same numbers, and the same decisions a real production job asks of you.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/095/9798160951225_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "99.99", "online_price" : "99.99", "our_price" : "99.99", "club_price" : "99.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
