Written by an experienced engineer, this new primer textbook covers
all the basic techniques of model engineering: understanding
engineering drawings; setting up a workshop; buying materials;
marking out; sawing; filing; bending & forming metals; drilling
& boring holes. The book includes a review of the properties
and characteristics of engineering materials and describes the
hardening of carbon steel for cutting tools in the home workshop.
Sources of information for model engineers are described together
with the principal types of activity and common modelling scales.
Points for consideration when buying a lathe are covered, plus how
it should be set up and operated. Also included is information on
the preparation and sharpening of lathe tools and their use for the
basic turning processes. A major chapter is dedicated to the
adaptation of the lathe for milling and boring, and the use of the
commonest types of milling cutter. Profusely illustrated with line
drawings and photographs, this is a comprehensive guide aimed at
students and practical people with little experience of working
with metal and wishing to embark on this fascinating hobby.
