Assuming no previous experience and using the medium of 12 lathe turning projects, this text leads prospective model engineers through all of the basic techniques needed to tackle ambitious projects.

Harold Hall provides a self-tuition course which assumes no previous experience of using the milling machine. The detailed descriptions are aimed primarily at the intermediate model engineers but will also be of use to more experienced operators wishing to add to their workshop equipment.

The principles underlying radial work on a metalworking lathe are explained in depth in this book. It covers the methods that can be adopted: from simple applications without specialised equipment to the use of a semi-universal dividing head and a rotary table.

Sharpening workshop tools is one task that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment.

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 volume provides a guide to building or converting a workshop space, & then equipping it to serve a wide range of metalworking activities, including model engineering, model making, car restoration & clockmaking. It explains the essential requirements including planning, heating & lighting, & health & safety factors.
