- Description
The preface of Part I gives the reasons for preparing this text. Part I deals with Safety, Measuring Tools, Bench Work, the Drill Press, The Lathe and forge Work.An attempt has been made in this volume (Part II) to organize the fundamental principles of construction and operation of the shaper, planer, milling machine, grinders, and band saws. Chapters embodying what every machinist should know concerning spur gears and bevel gears are included. Only fundamentally has this work anything to do with production. Special rapid-production machines and tools represent various combinations of fundamental mechanisms, methods, and processes. The purpose of this text is to discuss these fundamentals and build a foundation for rapid production, the same sort of foundation that arithmetic builds for mathematical calculations.
