Written for designers, machinists, and manufacturing engineers, this information-dense, quick-reference guide bridges the gap between academic theory and industrial practice and delivers:
* Detailed advice on how to choose the best jig or fixture to achieve a specific result.
* Thorough discussion of the basic principles of tool design.
* Practical tips for shop setup.
* Rules of thumb for estimating procedures.
* Guidelines on surface grinding layouts.
* Checkpoints to avoid common errors in design.
* Important standards for jigs, fixtures, and material usage.
* Time-saving component drawings and reference tables.
Covering clamping devices, welding fixtures, drilling jigs, milling fixtures, inspection devices, and more, Jigs and Fixtures Design Manual includes "mini review" summaries at the end of each chapter and practice tests to reinforce learning.
