Engineering Design for Manufacturing - This engineering design reference book provides an overview of manufacturing processes, application, design considerations, required features, and achievable mechanical tolerances for selected manufacturing processes. This book has been written exclusively for engineers, designers, and others seeking to create designs with manufacturability in mind.

Punch and Die Sets - New! Perfect Punch & Die Sets, available in inch and metric (mm) sizes. Comes from extensive surveys with Tool & Die Makers and Machinists who use this type of product. They suggested that the punching surface be enlarged to accommodate larger shims and gaskets. Also, they asked that the smaller, most used punches be at the front of the set to allow maximum use of the surface area. Our new design offers those changes as well as other distinct advantages over any other Punch & Die Set on the market. ADVANTAGES: READY TO USE OUT OF THE BOX—the accuracy you expect when purchasing a quality tool.

Surface Roughness Comparator - Ideal for use in the Drafting Room, Engineering Department or in the small shop. This set has 30 specimens, each are 7/8" x 3/8" comprising:

3 Specimens Flat Lapping - 2, 4 and 8 AA
3 Specimens Reaming - 16, 32 and 63 AA
6 Specimens Grinding - 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 63 AA
6 Specimens Horizontal Milling - 16, 32, 63, 125, 250 and 500 AA
6 Specimens Vertical Milling - 16, 32, 63, 125, 250 and 500 AA
6 Specimens Turning - 16, 32, 63, 125, 250 and 500 AA

The scale conforms to S.A.E. and military specifications for visual and tactile inspection.
FEATURES: Our economy, composite Set No. 16008 as shown here consists of 30 specimens 7/8" x 3/8" of electroformed solid nickel. Each type of surface finish, such as flat lapping, reaming, grinding, horizontal milling, vertical milling, and turning, is truly and consistently reproduced so as to give the operator or designer a realistic idea of the feel, appearance, and texture of the machined components. A set of instructions is included with each set. By means of this set, or one of our individual (larger) standards specimen scale sets, quick and easy comparisons can be made, thus eliminating costly checking methods, saving valuable production time, and stopping the production of scrap caused by poor finishes.
