Machining and CNC Technology, Third Edition, by Michael Fitzpatrick, will provide the latest approach to machine tool technology available. Students will learn basic modern integrated manufacturing, CNC systems, CAD/CAM and advanced technologies, and how to safely set up and run both CNC and manually operated machines. This is a how-to-do-it text.
Updated coverage of MasterCam X-4 Machining and CNC Technology, by Michael Fitzpatrick, provides the most up-to-date approach to machine tool technology available, with its integrated coverage of manual and CNC-based equipment. Part 1 presents the basic modern integrated manufacturing. Part 2 shows students how to safely set up and run manually operated machines. Part 3 deals with the goal of transferring manual skills to the CNC systsystem Part 4 covers advanced and advancing technologies, further emphasizing the contemporary outlook of Fitzpatrick's book.

Machining and CNC Technology is the first text written to fully integrate basic machine tool and CNC concepts throughout. Beginning in the first chapter, the differences between manually-operated and CNC equipment are shown and compared. The text is written for introductory courses, and does not assume previous machining background on the part of readers. Part I discusses the basics of today's integrated manufacturing world. In Part II students learn to safely set up and run manually operated equipment, always with the goal of transferring their skills to CNC systems. This part covers setups, safe operation, faultless program tryout and program writing, both with command codes and using CAM. CAD/CAM exercises are provided on CD-ROM, using the Mastercam® software program (student version). Finally, Part IV focuses on the future, highlighting technologies that have changed, and will continue to change, our manufacturing world.

"Programmed machine tools now represent most machine operation and (of greater impact to you) new jobs. Entry-level employees usually start in the shop as CNC operators. Flexible and friendly, the machines and programming systems are so quick and easy to learn that they are now practical even for one-of-a-kind work such as mold making and die work, as well as production. Schools integrate and teach CNC as an entry-level subject-starting from the first lesson on the first day"--
