DESCRIPTION:
Excellent Source Otto W. This is not the prettiest book nor is it the most clearly written. However, it is an excellent survey of techniques in precision engineering. Slocum clearly understands his stuff and trys to cover it in a reasonably comprehensive manner.. An excellent resource I have been using this book on and off for many years as both a resource and a sanity check for certain ideas. It is not a textbook, nor is it a "do it yourself" guide. It is a combination of inspired practical ideas presented in a reasonably complete manner; it is an engineering book, not a science book.Slocum rambles a bit, but he isn't hard to follow if you are technically competent.. Three Stars E. Hirasawa Good, but it needs to be updated!
Supporting software (MS Excel spreadsheets on 5.25' diskette) enable the reader to study 'What if' design scenarios based on formulas presented in the book.. It explores the physics of errors in machines and how such knowledge can be used to build an error budget for a machine, how error budgets can be used to design more accurate machines. This book is a comprehensive engineering exploration of all the aspects of precision machine design - both component and system design considerations for precision machines. It addresses both theoretical analysis and practical implementation providing many real-world design case studies as well as numerous examples of existing components and their characteristics. Fast becoming a classic, this book includes examples of analysis techniques, along with the philosophy of the solution method
