My Mission

My mission is to boldly go where no other machinist has been before.

Seriously! This is what I intend to do. This is the first of series of articles where I will be talking mainly about automotive precision machining. I will try to share with you from my 9 years experience (4yrs appy & 5 yrs post appy).

I am hoping that this will be a launch pad to establish some concise forum for the machining aspect of automotive engineering.

One thing that has always been eating me is that, to the best of my knowledge, there are no specific books for Automotive Precision Machining. During my years of training we tied General Machine Shop Technology books with Motor Vehicle Technology books to get a theoretical understanding. The gaps where filled in by notes from the lecturer and plenty research.

I plan on coming up with one book that covers all these basics in this specialised field.

I will probably also drag you through a few sequences of operation in the hope of teaching you what I know but mainly so that I may learn from you through your comments.
