Precision Press BrakePrecision Press Brake 1st Edition
presents Introduction to, Intermediate and Advanced Precision Press Brake as a single unit.
Instead of being presented as a stand alone text, the same material is separated into three categories:
Introduction to, Intermediate, and Advanced precision press brake. And now all
three combined into Precision Press Brake!

Written for use in a trade school application, each level is complete onto itself with work questions and answers, problems to be performed at the brake and as applicable, flat blank pieces already laid out and ready to code.

These texts were used to teach press brake at the Oregon Advanced Technology Center and is currently used
in many "
in house" training program and through classes offered by Clackamas Community College in Oregon City, Oregon. These are a few of the places the books are used for classes taught by the author. They are also the basis of many in-house training programs around the world.

The three texts can be purchased individually or as a single combined text. Whichever best suits your needs.                     Retail price $65.00
