Customer Service

This textbook presents a step-by-step method for learning to read sheet metal drawings. The primary objective of the textbook is to explain and illustrate the methods and techniques used by the sheet metal draftsman to convey the shape

and necessary details of a metal part to workers in the precision sheet metal industry. The units in the textbook are correlated closely with the work sheets in the workbook to provide practice in understanding the methods and techniques explained in the corresponding units in the textbook.

This textbook is not intended to be comprehensive to the point that it includes all the information needed by the various classifications of sheet metalworkers. Its chief purpose is to provide familiarity with sheet metal blueprints, which are usually referred to as shop drawings.
