Joining metal by one form or another of soft and hard soldering, or brazing with various alloys, are run-of-the-mill jobs in model and light engineering workshops. Tubal Cain examines the processes, equipment, materials and explains what is happening in the joints as they are made.

A fully comprehensive survey of the use of a lathe for all forms of screwcutting in all thread forms, imperial and metric. Calculations, gear trains, conversions, etc are all explained and also set out in tabular form.

Next to turning, the most valuable use of the lathe is for milling operations, either using the lathe itself to drive the cutters or by extending its scope by adding a separate milling attachment. This book provides a thorough and practical discourse on how to use the lathe for all types of milling work.

The techniques of depositing a thin metallic layer on an object for decoration, corrosion protection, electrical conductivity, wear resistance and so on have been known for many years but have been developed and improved. This book sets out to discuss the principles and practice of those forms of plating most suited to the amateur and small workshop.

Gears in one form or another are part of most mechanisms, but they are by no means as simple as they may appear. This book explains simply and comprehensively the underlying theory involved, and in its second part, how to cut gears on a lathe or milling machine.

A guide to the Unimat mini-lathe, covering numerous techniques to assist the model engineer in getting the best from the machine. The projects in the book are designed to increase the scope of the machine and advise on the performance of a number of tricky operations.

This practical book describes the wide range of bearings found in different types of models built in home workshops. It reviews the choice of bearings, materials, the type of bearing to use for each particular application and highlights the differences between home made and off-the-shelf bearings.

This title contains a comprehensive range of data which is required in the metal working workshop, and by those designing a wide range of engineered items, tools and machines.

This title deals with all aspects of the lathe covering the selection of the machine and its construction, including modern types of machine as well as the more traditional models. All aspects of tooling, both traditional and modern are covered in depth, as are all machining operations.
