Machinery's Handbook (Large print edition)

Product Information

Machine Elements and Operations: Updated and expanded coverage of CAD/CAM operations, boring, nontraditional cutting methods, O-rings and glands, and transmission chains. 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.

Installation Note: While we have eliminated use of a CD-ROM drive, an Internet connection still is required for setup of the Machinery’s Handbook 31 Digital Edition.All ASME and ANSI standards have been reconfirmed and revised, including the game-changing ASME Y14.5-2018 standard. Amidst the chapter on formulas and geometry, there’s a section on calculation of circles within a circle. Say you’re trying to figure out how many burritos you could fit into a large tube. Assuming that you can’t just squish them in there- for that would be cheating, not to mention messy as hell- three factors have to be taken into consideration: the arrangement of the center or core burrito; diameter of enclosing burrito when outer layer of burritos is complete; diameter of enclosing burrito when outer layer is not complete. This is followed by “Table 1: Number of burritos contained in complete layers of burritos and diameter of enclosing burrito.” Then follows an uncomfortably large number of ugly-looking equations and another baffling table or two. And if that isn’t enough of a challenge, the next section shows how to fit burritos into a rectangle. Math, Measurement, and Dimensioning: Reorganized, revised, and expanded sections provide ready access to clear information, essential formulas, and everyday calculations and conversions. Metal casting and molding: new information for working with iron, steel, nonferrous metals, and alloys, metal casting and molding processes, and modeling and design considerations. Additive manufacturing: expert discussions, exploring 3D printing materials, techniques, and workflow, compare traditional machining to today's additive manufacturing processes.

Metalworking Processes: More on brazing, soldering, welding, nondestructive testing, forming sheet metal, mill finishes, passivation, electropolishing, and plating. 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. Metal Casting and Molding: New information for working with iron, steel, nonferrous metals, and alloys, metal casting and molding processes, and modeling and design considerations. Metalworking Processes: More on brazing, soldering, welding, nondestructive testing, forming sheet metal, mill finishes, passivation, electropolishing, and plating.

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.) Machinery’s Handbook: Then and Now This is the toolbox print edition, which measures a handy 4.6″ x 7″. You also may be interested in Machinery’s Handbook, 31st Edition, Large Print Edition,which is identical in content but measures 7″ x 10″, with larger text (the size of standard reference materials). 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.
