Machining Data Handbook

As part of the US military’s direct role in manufacturing, the US Army Ordnance Corps published a machining data handbook with information on all major materials and cutting processes in 1960. The publication was revised twice and grew from 266 to over 1,000 pages. The manual was the first of its kind and is a bestseller at the US Department of Commerce clearinghouse. It is used by military, industrial and educational organizations throughout the world.
