Design of Jigs Fixtures and Press Tools 2nd Edn.

This book Design of Jigs Fixtures and Press Tools is aimed at providing the introductory knowledge on the subject to the undergraduate students studying mechanical and manufacturing engineering at most universities. Many of the universities prescribe a syllabus that contains both Design of Jigs and Fixtures and Design of Press Tools in a single semester course. Keeping the above in mind this book is designed in two parts. Part-I deals with Jigs and Fixtures and Part-II is earmarked exclusively for the study of Press Tools. Both these subjects are built progressively in successive chapters. A separate appendix in each part provides short answer questions with answers which will help the students in clarifying doubts and strengthen their knowledge base. The explanatory notes and illustrations provided in the book will serve the purpose of awakening the interest of the students and invoking in them the passion for tooling in their study of mechanical manufacturing or production engineering.
