Metal removal processes cutting and grinding in this book are an integralpart of a large number of manufacturing systems either as the primarymanufacturing process or as an important part of preparing the tooling forother manufacturing processes. In recent years industry and educationalinstitutions have concentrated on the metal removal system perhaps at theexpense of the process. This book concentrates on metal removal processesparticularly on the modeling aspects that can either give a direct answer orsuggest the general requirements as to how to control improve or change ametal removal process. This modeling knowledge is more important with automatedcomputer controlled systems than it has ever been before because quantitativeknowledge is needed to design and operate these systems. This seniorundergraduategraduate textbook is aimed at providing the quantitativeknowledge often times at an elementary level for handling the technologicalaspects of setting up and operating a metal removal process and interpretingthe experience of planning operating and improving a metal removal processbased on rule of thumb approaches. «
