Machine Tool Practices (Paperback)

Machine Tool Practices, Paperback

For students who want a lighter copy, the Machine Tool Practices paperback puts the full 800-page text into a trade paperback binding. The authors are Kelly Curran, Richard Kibbe, Roland Meyer and Jon Stenerson, and Pearson Education is the publisher.

The book belongs to the What’s New in Trades and Technology series and carries content updated for 2019. Its subject is technology and engineering, with the weight on machine tools.

Three areas of industrial study

The text covers mechanical technology, manufacturing technology and industrial technology. It is built around the practices used with machine tools, so readers learn how shop work is actually carried out rather than only the theory behind it. Readers studying any of the three areas can use it as their main shop text.

Who the softcover edition suits

Students in a machining or manufacturing course and professionals already in the field are both named as readers. People who want to keep their skills current with industrial technology will find the 2019 update useful. A paperback is easy to slip into a bag on the way to the shop floor.

Four authors, one trades series

Kelly Curran, Richard Kibbe, Roland Meyer and Jon Stenerson share authorship. Pearson places the title in its What’s New in Trades and Technology series, which groups books for learners heading into skilled technical work. This trade paperback carries the same 800 pages of content as the hardcover we list separately.
