Machine Tool Operation, Vol. 2: Drilling Machine, Shaper and Planer, Milling and Grinding Machines, Spur Gears and Bevel Gears (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Machine Tool Operation, Vol. 2: Drilling Machine, Shaper and Planer, Milling and Grinding Machines, Spur Gears and Bevel Gears The preface of Part 1 gives the reasons for preparing this text. Part 1 deals with lathe work, bench work, and work at the forge. An attempt has been made in this volume (part II) to organize the fundamea principles of construction and operation of the Drilling Machine, Shaper, Planer, Milling Machine, and Grinding Machine. A chapter embodying what every machinist should know concerning spur gears and bevel gears is included. Only fundamentally has this work anything to do with production. Special rapid production machines and tools represent various combinations of fundamental mechanisms, methods and processes. The purpose of this text is to discuss these fundamentals, and build a foundation for rapid production; the same sort of foundation that arithmetic builds for mathematical calculations. Perhaps a statement regarding the way in which the follow ing text is presented and the reasons therefore should be made here.
