Sheet Metal
Fundamentals of
Sheet Metal Layout, Cutting, Forming and Fabrication of Sheet Metal
By Leo A. Meyer - 2nd Edition
This updated edition of Sheet Metal
provides an introduction to the fundamentals of layout, cutting,
forming, and fabrication of sheet metal. It can serve as a useful
training tool and reference for students, apprentices, and
technicians in the trade. While the tools and technology in the
sheet metal trade continue to evolve, basic principles that are
fundamental to working with sheet metal remain. Sheet Metal
presents basic metalworking principles and builds on this knowledge
throughout the book.
The text is written concisely with large,
two-color illustrations used to emphasize key points. The first six
chapters provide an introduction to safety, tools, machinery,
materials, and fasteners used in the sheet metal trade. The next six
chapters cover cutting, forming, and joining methods. Chapters 13
through 17 cover basic drafting principles and pattern development.
Chapter 18 covers specification, layout, and fabrication of sheet
metal used in the building trades. Chapter 19 covers the short
method of pattern development.
Hands-on activities reinforce concepts
introduced in the chapters.
