Machine Trades
Printreading presents a thorough foundation for understanding the
symbols, practices, and concepts used in prints created for
manufacturing and machining processes. This text/workbook explains how
parts made in a machine shop are represented in two-dimensional
drawings. Topics focus on the representation of objects in various views
and the specification of sizes and shapes of object features. This new
edition references the latest ANSI standards for printreading symbols
and object representation and adds new information on tolerancing and
precision measurement. The CD-ROM also features new learning resources.
Numerous trade competency tests throughout the book are based on
practical manufacturing prints. End-of-chapter tests are designed to
strengthen the printreading skills and knowledge from each chapter. The
final chapter's collection of trade competency tests challenges the
learner to interpret prints using knowledge from all chapters.
