Machining and machine tools is a text targeted towards the students and teachers for the

undergraduate Manufacturing Processes course in the Mechanical Engineering discipline. Postgraduate students in the production and manufacturing streams will also find this book a good reference.

This book brings a holistic approach to the understanding of machine tools and manufacturing

processes, giving equal emphasis to historical background and chronological development, and to modern developments in manufacturing and contemporary machining processes.
