Mumbai’s Urmaze Naterwalla has just authored a textbook titled ‘Machining Solutions – The Art & Science of Metal Cutting’. His sole mission for many years has always been to help people do better in their manufacturing careers and/or help someone identify a career path in Manufacturing and Machining. Engineering students and practitioners of the Engineering field will find this book very useful.
‘Machining Solutions – The Art & Science of Metal Cutting’ is intended to coach a reader through the fundamentals of metal cutting and related best practices, and all the way through some advanced machining solutions. The logical thinking patterns shown allows end users to think on the spot in a stress filled production machining environment, and arrive at confident machining solutions. The level of detail has been filtered and organized based on the needs of the end user. This book allows the user to mature their learning from the basic concepts of metal cutting (nomenclature, geometry, speeds & feeds), and relate them with advanced machining solutions (material removal rates, machine selection, balancing, vibrations, tool wear).
Born and raised in Mumbai’s Shapur Baug, Urmaze left for his undergraduate and graduate degrees in the US on completing his schooling from the Scholar High School. He started his machining journey by working as a machine operator at a very early age. Having acquired advanced degrees in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from The Ohio State University, he steered his research on machining process optimization.
Later, while working in Aerospace Manufacturing, he acquired an MBA from the Oregon Executive MBA program, where he steered his focus to developing machining related research centers. His professional career included experiences with developing and running a technology center at Ingersoll Cutting Tools, team leader of the Machining Solutions group at the Boeing Company, and Head of R&D at the Oregon Manufacturing and Innovation Center.
Throughout his illustrious career, Urmaze nurtured his passion of teaching. His teaching experience includes tutoring children in math, machining solutions courses at corporations, university classes, apprentice programs, high school joint programs, seminars, and conferences. It is this collective professional experience, combined with teaching background that has led to the evolution of this textbook and its unique teaching approach. Urmaze shares that he has written this book in a manner that he wishes the topics were taught to him earlier on in his schooling and career.
Speaking to Parsi Times, Urmaze Naterwalla says, “When all is said and done, more is said than done. I am obnoxiously proud of our manufacturing trade, and I want to encourage people to explore the beauty of what it takes to make things in a sustainable manner. Machining, in most part, is still an art form. We are simply attaching principles of science and engineering as best possible to this historic art. I hope this book will be of service in helping someone find their path in the world of manufacturing.”
