Summary
Summary
Metal cutting is one of the most widely used methods of producing the final shape of manufactured products. First published in 2000, this book treats the scientific principles of metal cutting and their practical application to solving problems encountered in manufacturing. The subjects of mathematics, physics, computers, software, and instrumentation are discussed as integration tools in analyzing or designing machine tools and manufacturing processes. The book begins with the fundamentals of metal cutting mechanics. A special feature is the in-depth coverage of chatter vibrations, a problem experienced daily by practising manufacturing engineers. The essential topics of programming, design, and automation of CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools; NC (numerical control) programming; and CAD/CAM technology are fully discussed. Each chapter includes examples drawn from industry, design projects, and homework problems. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practising engineers, will find this book a clear and thorough way to learn the engineering principles of metal cutting mechanics, CNC system design, and CAD/CAM technology.

Choice Review
This book and its earlier edition (CH, Nov'00, 38-1582) have filled a gap in the literature on manufacturing engineering. Altintas (Univ. of British Columbia, Canada) provides detailed, comprehensive coverage of topics that are important to researchers, professionals, and practitioners and that have not received adequate coverage in other publications. The volume is divided into seven chapters, beginning with a brief introduction. Chapter 2 covers metal cutting mechanics, including detailed mathematical models of turning, milling, and drilling operations. Chapters 3-4 deal with machine tool vibrations and the theory of chatter. The last three chapters detail the structure, operation, and design of CNC (computer numerically controlled) machine tools. In addition to providing crystal clear explanations of the subject material, the author includes solved examples. This new edition contains one new chapter (chapter 4) and updated examples and problems. This reviewer's only concern is that the book's title does not reflect the contents. Its title should have been "Machine Tool Design." A must read for researchers in the area of machine tool design as well as for production engineers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students and above. S. D. El Wakil University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
