Machine tool reconditioning and applications of hand scraping by Edward F Connelly is a good reference on measuring and adjusting machine geometry for dovetail slideways.
I'd like to recommend "Heat Treatment Master Control "or "Heat Treatment Selection and Application of Tool Steels" authored by Bill Bryson. Both are an excellent practical guide to heat treating and a great overview of the available tool steels and there use. Both books have essentially the same information but the Master Contol Manual, published in 2015, is newer, larger format and much better illustrated version. They are published by Hanser Gardner.
Excellent list. Also worth checking out is... "Instruments and experiences: papers on measurement and instrument design" by R.V Jones. Hard to find a physical copy, but has recently appeared in digital form and can currently be loaned from the internet archive. Another worth mentioning is.. "Know your machine tool" by Tim Sheridan. All about using capacitive gauges to measure machine tools, can be downloaded from the Lion precision website for free.
Great list Cyrus! I have a few to add to my collection for sure. My recommendations would be: Sensors and Actuators by de Silva - it's the textbook Dan Gelbart uses when teaching the class of the same name The art and science of engineering - Richard Hamming (stripe press) - Not about precision engineering, but about engineering and being an engineer. Can't recommend enough. Thanks for the video, good luck post-grad!
Love this discussion-- My university is heavy on fluids theory and light on mechanism design, so finding a list of books like this is an great resource. Thanks again!
As a doctoral student in mechanical engineering from China, focusing on precision polishing machine tools, I’m thrilled to see your book recommendations! It’s like finding a kindred spirit halfway around the world-I’ve read most of these books too. Maybe many of them are ASPE’s top picks? Either way, it’s great to connect over shared interests. Could you recommend any comprehensive resources or tutorials on designing precision machine tools? It’s a bit of a niche topic back home.
@@刘佳明-g5i if you’re a member of ASPE/can attend one of the annual meetings, Mark Stocker of Fives has an excellent tutorial on the subject. Otherwise, Slocum’s PMD is the closest thing to perfect.
Thank you very much for your suggestions! I’m particularly interested in Mark Stocker’s tutorial, as I know it’s featured at the ASPE annual meetings. Unfortunately, I’m not a member of ASPE, which really is a bummer. If you happen to have any materials or insights from the course that you could share, it would truly be like finding a hidden gem.
Nice collection Cyrus! The flexure analysis in Slocum's work is phenomenal. I would submit for consideration "Building Electro-Optical Systems: Making it all work" by Philip Hobbs. A fantastic resource for anyone considering design of precision optical systems, sensing, etc. Extremely technical yet relatable, and the author's humor is a pleasant side.
Excellent list, hit all the classics "Principles and techniques for designing precision machines" Layton C. Hale PhD dissertation is an excellent overview similar to Slocum. Some great examples "Precision spindle metrology" Eric Marsh is good too for anything that rotates. Surprised with your PI connection you weren't able to snag a copy In general any MIT PhD dissertation advised by Slocum or David Trumper is excellent
D’oh! I forgot precision spindle metrology! I have it and yes it’s spectacular I had just misplaced it. Hale’s thesis is also amazing, I’d love to get a hard copy.
1 book on your list I didn't have... hello book order. On the optics side a bit more: Optical Shop Testing by Malacara, Optical Methods in Engineering Metrology by Williams, Optical Tooling for Precise Manufacture and Alignment by Kissam. That leads to the rabbit hole of astronomy and lens/mirror making.
OPTICS is definitely the area I’ve been studying. I’m a nerd in STEM so now I want to make my own optics for different things. Including low power lasers until I can afford the higher end safety equipment for high power
i would love to read every book, sad that 2 of them are not to get so easy or at all in germany and that they all are not cheap. But i have the Diamond Turning at least already
@Der_Drache kindle had a really old gen that was larger. And they may have done so recently, not sure. But I'd recommend a larger screen. Boox has some. The smaller ebook screens are too small for technical books especially ones not formatted for ebook rendering.
@@aniksamiurrahman6365 sorry abt that. Google the exact phrase “air bearings 50 tidbits” (without the quotation marks though) and click the first result, it’s a page titled Jim Arneson

Just discovered your channel. I have no idea how I've missed all this all these years. Definitely subscribed.
Machine tool reconditioning and applications of hand scraping by Edward F Connelly is a good reference on measuring and adjusting machine geometry for dovetail slideways.
What were you studying formally?
One of the most useful videos that I have watched. Some of these recommendations go on the shelf with my favorite books of all time!

Thank you for sharing! Always excellent to get book recommendations from people who appreciate their value in the practical terms of the work they do.
Finally got around to watching this. Thank you!!!

I love the thumb tick on the left hand in the beginning of the video indicating logical processes thinking.
Or he’s just picking his thumbs
@@Rob-tx3jl nah I prefer when people overanalyze my body language it’s more flattering. I’m always thinking about *logical processes*

Congratulations man, it’s been incredible watching all your progress and we wish you the absolute best!

Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy is the GOAT
Achoooo

12min video with more info than paid courses. Thank you!
Nice,thanks for sharing those books with us.I have one of them.
Nice collection.
Tidbit 14: Ground surfaces go together better than lapped surfaces
Can anyone explain this?
Would be interested in learning why as well!

Awesome recs, thanks. I had a separate optics pile I didn’t include, but those aren’t in it. I’ll see if I can pick them up!
OPTICS is definitely the area I’ve been studying. I’m a nerd in STEM so now I want to make my own optics for different things. Including low power lasers until I can afford the higher end safety equipment for high power
@@cylosgaragehi cylo I am also interested in Optics, could share some books you have for this area of field as well?
Prof. Alex Slocum is the GOAT
Thanks for making this video dude
Thans man!
Also from me congratulations on your graduation!🎉
Thanks Jan!
Nice collection. I'm Jealous. Hope you keep your videos going there very interesting
i would love to read every book, sad that 2 of them are not to get so easy or at all in germany and that they all are not cheap. But i have the Diamond Turning at least already
Some of the expensive ones... can be found in digital form if you look hard enough.
@@EricBrummer i am sadly someone who needs a book in his hands then having a pdf to read, maybe a kindle is something i should look into for that then
@Der_Drache kindle had a really old gen that was larger. And they may have done so recently, not sure. But I'd recommend a larger screen. Boox has some. The smaller ebook screens are too small for technical books especially ones not formatted for ebook rendering.
Shairng links for these all would've been awesome. Personally, I'm having hard time to find the 50 tidbits. Google feels like actively being my enemy.

@@cylosgarage Thanks 😀
Supposedly the only copies of Precision Machine Design are actually on sale by Slocum himself.
*On Amazon
Holy bank robbery Batman..... these damn books are expensive.
Yeah ... Textbooks are kind of a scam
use libgen boys, then buy if you really like them
