Milling is the opposite to turning; in the latter, when using the lathe, the work will usually rotate and the cutting tool be held still and rigid; in the former, when milling it is the cutter that rotates, the work staying still. Possibly those statements require a little clarification, because, although the tool when turning and the work when milling are held rigidly, in both...
What is tabletop machining?
Tabletop machining is about operating miniature machine tools. These are machines that can be picked up and set on a small bench or, if need be, a kitchen table, and used to build precise metal parts. They are inexpensive compared to their full-size shop equivalents, but are just as versatile...
The basic skills and techniques of metalworking follow age-old traditions and today are used for recreation was well as in industry, resulting in them being used in an increasing number of applications. For instance, there is the horologist who uses them for wheel and pinion cutting, the craftsman who...
One of the trickiest parts of using a solid fuel such as charcoal, coal, and coke for forge or foundry furnace is controlling the air flow. I found this out with my first experiences using a bucket sized charcoal foundry furnace. With my wet/dry vac set to exhaust, the hose was placed a foot or s...
Machinists are highly skilled men and women. They use drawings, hand tools, precision measuring tools, drilling machines, grinders, lathes, milling machines, and other specialized machine tools to shape and finish metal and nonmetal parts. Machinists must have a sound understanding of basic and advanced machining technology, which...
The last twenty years have seen a great leap forward in the world of electronics. Inexpensive dedicated microprocessors and the power MOSFET have had a great effect. The swift progress of the PC has put large amounts of fast processing power at the hands of the designer. Over the last decade or s...
All too many people dream about taking a piece of sheet metal and turning it into a automobile body or a custom gas tank for their motorcycle like those bizarre (but incredibly talented) guys on television do. Dream is about as far as most people get. You'll never amount to anything unless you st...
At no time in history has participation in metal-working as a hobby grown as fast in America as it has in the past fifteen years. It is a safe assumption that as many metal-turning lathes have been purchased in the past five years for home workshops as were in such use prior to that time. Because...
In this valuable book Tubal Cain takes the reader beyond the superficial or the simply practical with explanations of the composition of steel, its additives, and the effects of different temperatures on its constituents. With a grasp of what changes are actually taking place in the metal the care needed...
If you look at the small investment casting foundries of India, South-East Asia and West Africa you find models of the type of technology that Dr Schumacher describes. Using the minimum capital, abundant skilled or semi-skilled labour, simple machinery and materials found locally, these traditional co-operatives and small family businesses manufacture ob....
Foundry engineering deals with the processes of making castings in moulds formed in either sand or some other material. The art of the foundry is ancient, dating back to the dawn of civilisation. Even in prehistoric times, as far back as 5000 bc, metallic objects in the form of knives, coins, arrows, and household articles...
Soldering of metals and alloys, together with furnace welding, represents one of the oldest methods of securing a permanent joint between different parts. In order to distinguish fusion welding from other welding methods devised at the end of the last century, this method has been termed "soldering" by N.N. Benardos. Some basic principles...
