• Designing Cost Effective Machined Parts
  

  An on-line e-booklet, fully illustrated with numerous examples. Tips on designing machined parts so you get exactly what you want at the lowest possible price. By Joe Osborn, OMW Founder and Adjunct Faculty Member in Metals Technology at the College of Marin.

  Excellent job of the website. I could have used the "How to Design Inexpensive Parts for Machining" several years ago to help train a few new engineers. You really captured a great deal of knowledge in one place. Nice job!

  Your article on how to design parts for inexpensive machining was GREAT. I just sent the link out to all my coworkers to check out. I thought I knew most of those things, but I learned a thing or two myself...
