About the Book

Machine Tool Practices is an all-in-one solution for teaching machine, BPR, GD&T and CNC courses. A definitive text in the field for 30+ years, it provides the background you’ll need to understand and operate manual and CNC machines and to earn NIMS certification. Built for flexibility, the text lends itself to both self-paced classes and courses with a combined lecture/laboratory approach.

The 12th Edition is a significant update incorporating the latest NIMS requirements and changes in machining. Updated GD&T and CNC sections reflect revised standards and best practices; when paired with supplements, they provide enough coverage to form the basis for distinct blueprint reading/GD&T and CNC courses.
