Machinery's Handbook

Product Information

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

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. 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.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. 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.

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. Mathematics -- Mechanics and strength of materials -- Properties, treatment, and testing of materials -- Dimensioning, gaging, and measuring -- Tooling and toolmaking -- Machining operations -- Manufacturing processes -- Fasteners -- Threads and threading -- Gears, splines, and cams -- Machine elements -- Measuring units 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. 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.With: Guide to the use of tables and formulas in Machinery's handbook, 29th edition / by John M. Amiss, Franklin D. Jones, and Henry H. Ryffel. New York : Industrial Press, 2012 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. 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.)

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. 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.

An Easy-Access Value-Added Package

Twenty years ago, I bought the 24th edition after graduating from college. It has served me well over the years but I wanted to give myself a treat this year and buy the updated version. I went with the large print since it was going to be my last one, and I wanted to make it easier on my eyes to read it later in life. This indispensable handbook was the brainchild ofAlexanderLuchars, founder of Industrial Press, Inc.
