A neatly conceived and well executed book on jigs and fixture design, it bridges the gap between academic theory and industrial practice. The book discusses in details the basic principles of tool design. Check-points for common errors in design are provided for facilitating systematic checking of drawings. A large number of components drawings for practice are given, as also the possible tooling. The book gives in brief the basic principles of process planning to hold the designer plan for systematic manufacture of engineering components. A large number of welding and inspection fixtures are included. Also included are guidelines on surface grinding layouts. Important standards for elements of jigs and fixtures are given in reference tables provided at the end of the book. With its comprehensive coverage, the book would be indispensable to professional design and production engineers. Students of production engineering and mechanical engineering would also find it extremely useful.
