The American Society for Precision Engineers 2007 meeting just came to a close, and Alexander Slocum (who wrote Precision Machine Design, a standard industry reference) has a new "book" he put out for free. It deals with the principles of design practice, and I suggest everyone here who wants to build a CNC read through it.

It is written for folks who don't necessarily have a background in machine design (like Precision Machine Design is), but want to develop the good skills necessary to be more successful in their designs.

It seems the author has taken the book off the website as of January. Does anyone happen to have a copy they could send me?

EDIT: please ignore me, was being retarded, didnt see the link to download as zip is still on the page despite the revision notice.
