Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) book or website

Hi,

Can you suggest me a good book or website (with good examples) from which I
will be able to refresh my memory on GD&T regarding the design of part,
assemblies (Worst case and Root sum of squares, etc...) Thanks.

Pablo,

 

Hi Pablo,

I would recommend GeometricsIII by Lowell Foster.

This is a must have if you are into GD&T.

This will run you about $40 USD. Full of great illustrations and in
depth use.

Later,

SMA

This has been discussed twice before in the last month. Pablo, do you find some
fault with that discussion, some inadequacy? Hopefully, people are paying
attention to ongoing discussions, not starting 'new' threads when none is
warranted. Much better to join a discussion already in progress.

 

Hi David,

I should have mention that the book from Alex Krulikowski is not available
(at this moment) at our library, so I was looking for another book... Didn't
wanted to offend no one. In the future I will join a discussion already in
progress.

Pablo,

inadequacy? Hopefully,

HEY Divid Janes! You are an AssHole.

Well, David does have a point; it's good etiquette to search a group before
posting and it wasn't apparent that that had been done.

Giggling none-the-less, though I hope it's not perceived to be at anyone's
expense.

And, hey folks! This is the first ever post by Eddie on this group.
Anything to get some participation going!!! 8~)

 

Fundamentals of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (second edition)
by Krulikowski and Delmar publishing.

 

Well, perhaps we could get things rolling by recommending Mr Eddie a useful
reference book on english grammar, and the correct use of capital letters?
Oh, and spelling common english names, of course.

 

Mr. Howard,
I am not a first time poster.
Mr. John,
HEY was capped cause I was yelling. The "A" & "H" were used to
accentuate the word. Bee sides dat, mi gramer was gust fine. I just
thought that "Divid's" reply (misspelled on purpose!) was too harsh on
Pablo.
I apologize for stooping. I apologize was the naughty word.
Eddie

 

Does your library have ANY books on GD&T? If you're stuck with the library (i.e.,
no money, so Amazon's out), look for books that include the 1994-M standard. By
now, it is stable, widely accepted and cited (including in job ads ~ no one
advertizes anymore for people who know 1985, which, if you are using inches, is
the applicable standard) and agrees about 98% with ISO, so no loss there.

The issue of WHO'S book is obviously partisan. It might be slightly past
partisanship (fandom, sycophancy) to suggest you look at books from people who
have actually designed/developed/taught course for major industries. Krulikowski
definitely has, in Michigan, in the auto industry, so has Ben Loosli's author, Al
Neuman, since he's with the Y14.5 committee and has some work books that go with
his courses.

I don't know where this leaves you. If your library (as do those in backassward
San Diego County) has only books referencing the 1985 standard, this might still
be a good starting point, as the basic concepts of GD&T were developed in the
early 40s of the last century and were well established by 1985. If you wish to
look into the ISO-based approach, you'll need to get the 1994-M(etric) version.
There are some new things, including a chart of where ANSI and ISO agree/disagree.

Not an issue of offense but of understanding the news group methodolgy. It's
pretty antiquated and stodgy. Because the entire system is run on technologically
backward, 7-bit systems and servers, there's no binary, except through translation
tricks, like UUE, no binaries come with a text newsgroup. People are deserting in
droves, just because of this technological restriction, to groups like
news.ptcuser.org, a LISTSERV format (even more ancient than newsgroups but less
supervised 7-bit transmissions) where 'binaries' get through without complaint.
Thanks for using USENET, it really has a limited future, like the steam engine in
the 40s. Hopefully something continues a broad distribution system, such as the
ones that newsgroups and listserv provide. And without being balkanized into a
million different SIGs. As you can tell, I'm rooting for a coherent, and more
integrated, format, like news groups.
