Machinery's Handbook (Large print edition)

Product Information

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. If the number of teeth in a gear is 16 and the diametral pitch 6, then simply put these figures in the place of N and P in the formula, and solve for the outside diameter as in ordinary arithmetic.

Since the first edition published more than 100 years ago, Machinery’s Handbook has been the most popular engineering resource of all time. Since the first edition published more than 100 years ago, Machinery's Handbook has been acknowledged as an exceptionally authoritative and comprehensive, yet highly practical, and easy-to-use tool, and the new 31st edition has grown to nearly 3,000 pages. Have you already purchased a CD-ROM version of the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, or 30th edition of Machinery’s Handbook?The book, an engineering resource and reference for manufacturing, provides information appropriate for engineers, designers, drafters, metalworkers, toolmakers, machinists, educators, students and hobbyists.

The Guide to the Use of Tables and Formulas in the Machinery's Handbook, 31st Edition, is designed to maximize the enormous practical value of the latest, greatest edition of this invaluable engineering resource, offering useful information on how to make full use of the Machinery's Handbook in solving problems on the job. Also see attractive combination packages offering the Digital Edition with the toolbox and large print editions of the Machinery’s Handbook, 31st Edition.The use of letters in formulas, in place of the actual numbers, simplifies the solution of problems and makes it possible to condense into small space the information that otherwise would be imparted by long and cumbersome rules. Machine Elements and Operations: Updated and expanded coverage of CAD/CAM operations, boring, nontraditional cutting methods, o-rings and glands, and transmission chains. Find the lengths of chords when the number of divisions of a circumference and the radii are as follows: 30 and 4; 14 and 2½; 18 and 3½. By following practical techniques explained in the Guide and cross-referenced to the Handbook, readers will enhance their ability to reach specific information and solutions more quicklyand easily. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

Find the time required to drill two holes in each of 500 castings if each hole has a diameter of ¾ inch and is 1 inch deep. A chord of a circle is the distance along a straight line from one point to any other point on the circumference.

The figures or values for a given problem are inserted in the formula according to the requirements in each specific case. Revised to reflect numerous changes made in the new 31st edition, with specific cross references to quickly locate information in the far larger book, the Guide enables users to become familiar with the Handbook's vast range of vital content. Machinery's Handbook has been the most popular reference work in metalworking, design, engineering and manufacturing facilities, and in technical schools and colleges throughout the world for nearly 100 years. 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.

A term that divides all the other terms on one side of the equals sign may be moved to the other side if it is made to multiply all the terms on that side. The formula is more concise, it occupies less space, and it is possible to see at a glance the whole meaning of the rule laid down.Suppose, in the preceding formula, that B = 10, C = 5, and D = 3; then A = 10 × 5 × 3 = 150 and 150/(10 × 5) = 3. Example 3: For the cylinder in Example 2 but with the area of both ends included, the total area is the sum of the area found in Example 2 plus two times the area found in Example 1. It is the essential reference for Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Industrial Engineers, Designers, Draftsmen, Toolmakers, Machinists, Engineering and Technology Students, and the serious home hobbyist. However, the product of two numbers does require the multiplication sign, such as 23 × 4; this also may be written with parentheses, as (23)(4). As a general rule, the figure in an expression such as "3 A" is written first and is known as the coefficient of A.
