Reviews

There must be hundreds of books on Electronics but very few written specifically with the Model Engineer in mind. The control of machine tools by computer (CNC), previously the sole preserve of the professional engineer is now gaining ground rapidly with the amateur machinist. This has been due to reduced hardware costs and engineers prepared to 'have a go' for themselves. This book covers in considerable detail all the information required to carry out a successful conversion of existing equipment or to assist in the design of new machines. The traditional 'mechanical' engineer can no longer ignore the electromechanical aspect and this book will be a most welcome addition to any library. The 24 chapters cover a wide range of topics from Basic Electromagnetic Theory thro' to making your own PCB's, via Stepper Motors, Servos etc. on the way. This book provides an informative and absorbing read into the subject without being over technical, and will provide a handy reference for anyone wishing to gain expert knowledge of this rapidly expanding aspect of modern machine shop practice. The book would be an excellent primer for any young engineer or student contemplating a career in this fascinating branch of modern production engineering - Engineering in Miniature
