The book should still be more readable considering its use. 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 indispensable handbook was the brainchild ofAlexanderLuchars, founder of Industrial Press, Inc.

We already talked about machining books extensively in a few of our previous posts, but this time we decided to ask the opinion of an expert. Once obtaining a copy of this book was expensive but recently it has been republished with the original content so is now available at a more affordable price. The 30th edition also included additional content on: sheet metal and presses; keys and keyways; shaft alignment; taps and tapping; helical coil screw thread inserts; metric screw threads; miniature screws; fluid mechanics; solid geometry; statistics; calculating hole coordinates and thread dimensions; and distinguishing between bolts and screws Machinery’s Handbook for machine shop and drafting-room; a reference book on machine design and shop practice for the mechanical engineer, draftsman, toolmaker, and machinist. 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.

An Easy-Access Value-Added Package

Machinery's Handbook is apparently [ weaselwords] the direct inspiration for similar works in other countries, such as Sweden's Karlebo handbok (1st ed. 1936).

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. 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.

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.

Recommended Content

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.

Of course, a book crammed with so much information would be unreadable were it not for the profuse amount of tables, charts, diagrams and illustrations. But even with the visual aids, there are certain topics that make my eyes glaze over, as interesting as they initially appear to be. This book contains numerous tables, formulas, and rules related to mechanical engineering and machining. Numerous sections were thoroughly refreshed, reworked, or renovated. The metric content continued to be expanded. Our editors fine-tuned navigation aids to make it easier to locate information. And many figures were been refined and redrawn for enhanced clarity. Wherever practical, metric units were added adjacent to the US customary units in the text; many formulas were presented with equivalent metric expres­sions, and metric examples added. 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. 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.Numerous major sections have been extensively reworked and renovated throughout, including Mathematics, Mechanics and Strength of Materials, Properties of Materials, Dimensioning, Gaging and Measuring, Machining Operations, Manufacturing Process, Fasteners, Threads and Threading, and Machine Elements. 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. The Machinists’ And Draftsmen’s Handbook was first printed in 1899 and much of the content is just as relevant today as it was when originally printed. Most modern CNC machines are based on FANUC G-Code with extra commands and cycles that are exclusive to the make or model of your machine.

During the decades from World War I to World War II, these phrases could refer to either of two competing reference books: McGraw-Hill's American Machinists' Handbook or Industrial Press's Machinery's Handbook. The former book ceased publication after the 8th edition (1945). (One short-lived spin-off appeared in 1955.) The latter book, Machinery's Handbook, is still regularly revised and updated, and it continues to be a "bible of the metalworking industries" today. 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. A good example of this is the use of M-codes. One dual spindle CNC Lathe may use the M-code M110 to open the collet of the sub spindle while another may use M220.Machinery dealt with the practice of using metalworking to build machines and the role of machines in manufacturing. The editors published articles about making and using various metals. And they provided descriptions of machines and processes. The magazine included diverse advertisements (see the photo at right) for machine tools, sponsored by the fast-growing, technology-driven companies that propelled the Industrial Revolution. Throughout, emphasis was placed on the need for pragmatic information. Developing, building, and improving machines, mechanisms, and processes with practical advice was an early recurrent theme. It served the legendary entrepreneurial spirit of young America. Due attention also was paid to the theory and nascent science of mechanical and industrial engineering. The first edition was written in 1917 and over 100 years later, it is still the best reference book available. New to this edition … micromachining, expanded material on calculation of hole coordinates, an introduction to metrology, further contributions to the sheet metal and presses section, shaft alignment, taps and tapping, helical coil screw thread inserts, solid geometry, distinguishing between bolts and screws, statistics, calculating thread dimensions, keys and keyways, miniature screws, metric screw threads, and fluid mechanics. The detailed tables of contents located at the beginning of each section have been expanded and fine-tuned to make finding topics easier and faster.
