From the reviews:
"Machining technology presents an important role in economic development of many countries. Metal cutting techniques are key factors for industrial manufacturing. The classical aspects of metal cutting and the fundamentals of machine tools operations are described in this work. ... The present book can be used for undergraduate engineering course (for example, manufacturing, mechanical, etc.). Also, this book can serve as a useful reference for students at technical colleges, mechanical and manufacturing engineers, professionals in related industries with machine tools and machining processes." (J. Paulo Davim, International Journal of Machining and Machinability of Materials, Vol. 9 (1/2), 2011)
