Comprehensive coverage of finishing provided
An
Abrasive Engineering Society product story

What is believed to be the first comprehensive book on mass deburring, edge and surface finishing of metal, plastics, ceramics and other materials is now available.
The Mass Finishing Handbook is the latest publication to be offered by the Abrasive Engineering Society.
The book is the first ever published as a comprehensive work on mass deburring, edge and surface finishing of metal, plastics, ceramics and other materials.
The large number of variations in technology, which the author estimates to have between 250 and 750 billion combinations among machines, media, compounds, etc, is one reason a compendium has never been published previously.
Like his other publications on deburring, LaRoux Gillespie provides the critical structure to organize such a book.
The Handbook represents the culmination of the life work of LaRoux Gillespie, who with others have spearheaded efforts to clarify definitions and terminology, inspection and labeling criteria and standards for common finishing methods found in manufacturing worldwide.
As a handbook, the new 505-page book is designed by quick access to information on 16 processes, which include traditional methods such as barrel finishing and new methods such as magnetic abrasive finishing.
There are no complex mathematical equations or extended analyses required.
Worksheets, troubleshooting guides, step-by-step instructions within chapters prove both novice and experienced personnel with information to develop new processes or improve existing operations.
Discussion on topics such a plant operation, inspection, and ancillary equipment are important tools that managers will find useful.
Gillespie's expertise on the subject includes his work as an engineer and consultant advising manufacturers worldwide.
The bibliographies appended to each chapter represent part of a list of 4,500 books and articles complied during Gillespie's 40 years of work.
The complete table of contents and subject index for the Mass Finishing Handbook can be found at the Web site of the Abrasive Engineering Society.
