Description

Overview Warren Hammer’s Blueprint Reading Basics has been a bestselling classic for nearly two decades, revered for its ease of understanding and for giving readers opportunities to practice what they learned. With this historic revision, new author Charles Gillis has updated the entire package, replacing ALL figures with CAD-generated artwork, adding new illustrations, representing metric drawing practices alongside English, and including content from drawing standards such as Dimensioning and Tolerancing, Engineering Drawing Practices, Welding Symbols, Orthographic and Pictorial Views, Surface Texture, Undimensioned Drawings, and Types and Applications of Engineering Drawings, among others. Material has been rearranged for better presentation and an improved reader experience. Chapters on views, dimensions, surface finish, threads, and gears have been expanded, while new material on splines and cam prints has been added. Brand new chapters covering welding symbols and welded parts, sheet metal parts, and cast, forged, and molded plastic parts will be of particular interest to readers working with these processes. Each chapter contains a thorough explanation of the topic at hand, accompanied by detailed professional drawings, review questions, and corresponding worksheets, making this an ideal reference for students and instructors alike, and a must-have for mechanical engineers, draftspeople, inspectors, machinists, and students learning the manufacturers trades. This groundbreaking work now features a broad presentation of metric drawing standards and internationally recognized symbols, making it a truly global reference. An Instructor’s Resource (sold separately) includes: • Over 600 PowerPoint presentation slides for using the book in the classroom. The arrangement mirrors the book and can be customized by instructors. • Blueprint Reading Course Recommended Syllabus and Lesson Plans, to be customized to suit each instructor’s needs. • PDFs of Selected Figures and Tables. • PDFs for Review Questions and Answers. • PDFs for Worksheet Problems and Solutions.

  • Excellent product!
Format: Paperback
My Daughter needed to learn to read mechanical drawings and trying to verbally explain was more than I could handle. This Book greatly aided and accomplished that mission. Being a retired Industrial Electrician my knowledge of Mechanical Drawings is limited. However, she is now proficient and using measuring instruments in her job of inspecting parts everyday!! Thank You to the Author!! ... show more

  • Blueprint reading is a required skill at work
Format: Paperback
I needed a book like this to help me understand what the engineers put on their Mfg drawings and this book helps me do that! I'm glad I purchased the book and received it ahead of schedule.

  • Informative but disappointing. No answer key
Format: Paperback
This book is decent enough. It does not contain an answer key for the worksheets which is frustrating. I would not recommend for self guided learning but it would be good for a classroom setting.

  • If you work in this field you got this
Format: Paperback
If you’re trying to teach yourself in an online class it is extremely difficult! It’s equivalent to teaching yourself another language. There is no answer keys in the book which makes things difficult. My online class would refer to the worksheets in the book constantly. I never knew if I was doing things correctly without the answer key. If you’re familiar with the engineering world or blueprint world this may not be so difficult for you. ... show more
