Hi,
The question is as per the title : I'm designing a cnc router and want to find a
source of engineering formulas for bending in beams and other mechanalia. In
lieu of a trip up to Foyles I'm interested to hear about people's favourite
books or (preferable) websites with this orientation ?
Many thanks,
I prefer books, but there's loads of stuff on the internet if you use Google
carefully.
"Marks Standard Handbook for Engineers", by Marks, or "Mechanical Engineers'
Handbook, by Theodore Baumeister are excellent volumes to have around, and if
you have "Machinery's Handbook" on the shelf as well, you wouldn't go far wrong.
Both are very heavy, the Baumeister book is double the volume of machinery's
Handbook!

All the information you need will be in Kempes Engineers Yearbook.
However - anyone know if they still publish this? I treated myself to
one back in 1994, but a quick google reveals bugger all about it
now...

Thanks to all for the useful websites and book selections.
I couldn't find Kemps yearbooks anymore either - I meant to buy a set abo=

Amazon has Marks "Standard Handbook for Engineers" at nearly =A385 so I'l=

Thanks again,

Wrong place.
On the web there are copies at as little as $US30 plus postage from overseas
sellers. You need to look around, Amazon is not the cheapest or best for
secondhand or new books, although they like to think they are.
There is one UK copy:
Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers
Avallone, Eugene A./ Baumeister, Theodor
Bookseller: Books2Anywhere.com
(Fairford, GLO, United Kingdom) Price: US$ 120.77
Quantity: 1 Shipping within United Kingdom: US$ 5.50

our low worldwide delivery costs! Please note: we only take orders through ABE -

If you look further you will probably better those prices.

I downloaded a copy of machinery's handbook (in pdf) from the
internet a while ago, but can' remember where from. It's OK, but
there are better books around. I prefer Kempes, which is often for
sale on ebay. I keep meaning to buy a more recent copy, as the one I
have is a 1923 edition. I'd reccomend a copy of newnes engineers
pocket book if you come across one, covers most things. Older ones
are obviously imperial, but there were metric versions as well (just
checked, and mine seems to be a 1941edition).
Regards
Kevin
PS just for the record I'm quite young actually, I just tend to buy
secondhand books!
