Tricks
and Secrets of Old Time Machinist Vol 4
Volume four offers you more great ideas, any one of which, alone, is worth the price of this heavily illustrated book.
Check out the table of contents. Everything from machining long bearings to making a short taper attachment and a slide rest grinding attachment for an engine lathe. One sharp machinist revealed how he set up change gears to cut a 20 tpi thread but actually cut a 19 tpi thread!
In
this volume we also reprint some longer articles of unique quality.
You
get a great how-to article on making accurate squares using precision cylinders
and blocks. Another article will show you how to cut and drill glass discs.
You'll also learn how to put wigglers to good use to save time and increase
accuracy. Frank Stanley will take you into a California job shop to show you
howthey repaired gasoline engines and even machine crankshafts from billets.
A lengthy article taught old time machinists (and us as well) how to eliminate chatter marks from machined work. The editor had gotten so many letters from post-World-War-One machinists that he put together a two part article showing how manufacturers checked the accuracy of the lathes (Lodge & Shipley), milling machines, shapers and other machine tools.
Another
longer article will teach you how to use wooden dies and a press to form sheet
metal, a technique that was apparently used quite successfully in making early
auto fenders among other things. In addition, you get a series of letters
from different machinists describing their own unique approach to machining
a sphere at the end of a bar - not quite an argument, but an animated discussion.
I know too many blowhards around today who will tell you some of these simple techniques could never work. But they did. And that's the magic. Neat stuff. Don't miss out on this special volume. Add it to your reference library today. 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 softcover 96 pages
