Tools
If you want to successfully tackle a math problem, you’ll probably want to start by getting a good, powerful calculator. It might sound like a redundant suggestion, but many people often underestimate the importance of investing in a good calculator.
We recommend using a machinist calculator as it already has machining-specific keys, like surface feet per minute, inch per tooth, inch per minute, and data about the most popular materials.
Books
Machinist Ready Reference
Here’s a good reference book that provides tables, charts, and formulas used by machinists, engineers, designers, and toolmakers, featuring coverage of drills, tapers, screws, gears, weights, tool steels, and shop prints.
Math for Machinists
This book was written for students and includes a review of basic math operations (whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages), measurements, and additional topics that are directly applicable to machining and manufacturing.
Mathematics for Machine Technology
This comprehensive book combines math concepts with relevant machine applications through industry-specific examples and realistic illustrations.
Workshop Math
A major, indispensable reference guide jam-packed with hard-to-find calculations, formulas, and tables.
Mathematics at Work
Here’s a book that focuses more on mechanical work. This is a great book if you want to improve your math skills, as it is renowned for its ability to duplicate, as much as possible, personal instruction.
Mathematics for the Trades
This book covers the fundamental concepts of math, from arithmetic to trigonometry, that professionals in different trades need to be familiar with. It includes plenty of exercises coded by trade area.
Practical Shop Mathematics Vol 1 & 2
A great book for machinists entering the trade or trying to improve or refresh their math skills. The two volumes, divided by difficulty level, include plenty of good examples and exercises.
Apps
The availability of machinist apps is potentially endless and finding those apps generally depends on your smartphone OS.
Many machine tool manufacturers offer a good selection of apps that will help you deal with issues related to their specific brand.
If you are an Apple user, we recommend taking a look at these apps:
Machinist Journeyman App
CNC Machinist Calculator Pro
Machining Advisor Pro
If you are an Android user, we recommend taking a look at these apps:
CNC Machinist Calculator Pro
FSWizard Pro Machinist Calculator
Machinist Mate
