Covering more than 4,000 essential general and functional terms used in all areas related to metalworking and manufacturing technology, this glossary will aid those who seek a quick and handy source of basic knowledge of machines and processes. Each entry contains a cross-referencing system that makes all related topics instantly accessible. In addition, each topic is defined as far as possible in basic terms, and then every key word important to the explanation that is defined elsewhere in the book is underlined to serve as a reference to the article on that subject.
