SynopsisThe 25th edition of the bible of the mechanical industries. The speeds and feeds section has been revised, updated and expanded to include new materials, more cutting tools, and tool life estimates. The welding section has been rewritten to incorporate recent developments, the numerical control section has been expanded and rearranged to facilitate use, and logarithm and trigonometry tables have been reinstated. New to this edition are sections on bolt tightening torques, motion control sections, ISO 9000, lasers, dividing heads, bandsaws (including speeds and feeds), electrical discharge machining, retaining rings, machinability of wood, and collets. In addition, all the practical information and data has been reviewed and updated where necessary.
When you need it, you need it. The book is outdated in how we think of modern tools, but a lot of the information in this text really hasn't changed in the past 30 years or so. I use this book for design engineering, and my colleagues use anything between the 21st and 26th editions. Grab what you can under $50 and don't worry about getting a modern copy unless you work heavily with polymers. There isn't anything wrong with the information included, but it is my understanding that this area is much larger in newer copies. I personally found the 25th edition to be the perfect balance of a good price and modern style graphs and diagrams.
Ever since getting a lathe I've gotten by without one but as my skills and ambitions have increased I've finally justified buying one. Didn't need the newest edition as I don't do CNC. Wish I had bought one years ago.
This is a great reference book or just a good book to read and geek out on 50 pages all about various types of taps, design, identification, use case & process. Love this book!!!
