Overview

Machine Tool Practices is the all-in-one solution for machining, BPR, GD&T and CNC courses. It provides clear, practical and richly illustrated treatment of machine tool technology, while preparing you for NIMS certification. Vast in breadth and depth, this is the definitive text for training computer numerical controllers, conventional machine operators, general machinists, and tool and tie makers.

The 11th Edition includes expanded content and supplements on blueprint reading, GD&T and CNC, giving it the potential to be the sole source of material for courses on these topics. New coverage on the machinist's role in the shop and in ISO 9001:2015 will build your familiarity with typical roles and responsibilities.
