Machinery's Handbook

Product Information

The first edition was written in 1917 and over 100 years later, it is still the best reference book available. Mathematics -- Mechanics and strength of materials -- Properties, treatment, and testing of materials -- Dimensioning, gaging, and measuring -- Tooling and toolmaking -- Machining operations -- Manufacturing processes -- Fasteners -- Threads and threading -- Gears, splines, and cams -- Machine elements -- Measuring units We asked Marc Cronin, Senior CNC Machine Tools Engineer, and founder of GCodeTutor.com, to make a list of machining books and manuals that every machinist should always have on hand. This indispensable handbook was the brainchild ofAlexanderLuchars, founder of Industrial Press, Inc. The photograph at the right is of his great-great grandson Alex Luchars, the company’s current President and CEO. He can be reached at [email protected]. No matter whether you are a skilled machinist or an apprentice approaching the trade, machining books, and manuals will always be one of your main resources to find the information that you might need to complete your job.

Machinery's Handbook is apparently [ weaselwords] the direct inspiration for similar works in other countries, such as Sweden's Karlebo handbok (1st ed. 1936). Use your own judgement before buying this book. Take a look at the photos I have uploaded and see for yourself if the bleed through is more distracting than you can accept. Machinery's Handbook 31st Edition, 2020 "Production of Metallic Powder", Machinery's Handbook 31st Edition, 2020 The inaugural edition of Machinery’s Handbook was published in January 1914. It was a toolbox-sized volume measuring 4.625 X 7 inches. It was well received, and more than 30,000 copies were sold within the first two years. (Industrial Press is proud to offer a Machinery’s Handbook Collector’s Edition: 1914 First Edition Replica of this landmark work.) Several revised editions were issued in the years following. During World War I, the Handbook was in great demand to serve a global call for machines of war. Reading through the book that came with your machine tool while the cycle is running is a great way to understand the features that set your machine apart from machines that you may have operated and programmed in the past.The metric content has been greatly expanded. Throughout the book, wherever practical, metric units are shown adjacent to the U.S. customary units in the text. Many formulas are now presented with equivalent metric expressions, and additional metric examples have been added. Maybe my interest is due to working with engineers for so long; I grew to admire their intelligence and the way they were able to apply it in so many different situations. With some of them, the knowledge was acquired through years of schooling and experience. But for a few, the ability to problem-solve their way through a tough spot seemed instinctual. And while I was able to simplify their instructions so the user of a machine one of them designed was able to actually operate it, I nevertheless stood in awe of the abilities engineers and machinists possessed. Launched in 1914, Machinery’s Handbookhas been in continuous publication for more than 100 years and is still being sold around the world.At this time, we are thrilled to announce: The new 31st Edition, along with updates of the whole Machinery’s Handbook Product Family, is available!(See below.)

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. Twenty years ago, I bought the 24th edition after graduating from college. It has served me well over the years but I wanted to give myself a treat this year and buy the updated version. I went with the large print since it was going to be my last one, and I wanted to make it easier on my eyes to read it later in life.
