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,

Al Neumann is on the committee that wrote ANSI Y14.5

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.

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.

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.
