Build a watchmaker's lathe according to your needs! With this book you get the basics for building such a machine for fine work - and inexpensive and at the same time as an interesting independent project. Piece by piece the small machine is built in the sensible sequence of parts. Alternatives in the manufacturing process are always shown. So at the end there is a fully functional and for the production of model parts, especially very fine, usable machine tool. Almost incidentally, one gets a feel for the requirements for accuracy in the manufacture of such a machine. Even those who do not want to build a lathe will get a lot of background information about metalworking by reading the book carefully.

Build your own Metal Shaper. Exotic is a mild adjective when applied to this shaper. It will cut splines, keyways, gears, sprockets, dovetail slides, flat and angular surfaces and irregular profiles. And all of these with a simple hand-ground lathe tool bit. Obsolete in modern industry, of course, because milling machines do the work much faster and cheaper. But you can’t beat a shaper for simplicity and economy in the home shop.The shaper has a 6" stroke and a mean capacity of 5" x 5", variable and adjustable stroke length, automatic variable cross feed and graduated collars. You will be proud to add this machine to your shop.

Full color paperback edition. This title is also available as a B&W 'workshop-friendly' paperback edition and as a Kindle eBook."Make Your Own Treadle Lathe" is a practical, step by step guide to building a foot-powered lathe for light duty wood turning. You can build your own treadle lathe by following the well illustrated steps presented in this compact book. The book covers: - Materials & components - Frame and headstock - Belt and tensioner - Tailstock - Tool rest - Flywheel - Using the lathe The author also provides information on some non-turning uses for the lathe and sources for, and some shop-made alternatives to, the parts you may not have. All of the wood needed to build your lathe can be found at the local lumber yard or home center. Use 'Make Your Own Treadle Lathe' to make a near-duplicate of the author's lathe or as inspiration to build the unique human-powered lathe of your dreams. -------------- From the Introduction... Why this book exists: During the twenty years or so since I built this foot-powered treadle lathe, I have received many requests for drawings or plans. The lathe has been used as part of our traditional woodworking demonstrations and it never fails to draw a crowd. Of course, the reason the lathe exists is because I felt a need for it as a tool. Design considerations: Some of the main considerations when designing the lathe were: * Human powered - our solar energy system was pretty small at the time * Size - it had to be less than 42" tall to fit into our old truck * Compact - since it would sit in our small shop most of the time, a small footprint was essential * Portable - as in not too cumbersome or heavy * Functional - it had to perform the basic duties of a light-duty lathe * Adaptable - I had in mind several non-traditional uses for the tool, such as sanding --------------- Many unique and usable lathes have been built using earlier editions of this book. This book provides you with the instructions, photos and illustrations, and inspiration to build your own treadle lathe!

The Milling Machine is also known as book 4 from the best selling 7 book series, 'Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap'. Especially designed for the developing home shop. It’s a horizontal miller, but it has the full range of vertical mill capability when used with the angle plate on the work table. Extremely rigid and versatile. The work table is 2 3/8" x 12" with a 3/8" T-slot and it travels a full 12". Eight speeds from 43 rpm to 2430 rpm. The spindle raises as much as 6" above the work table and the transmission is designed to follow the vertical travel without straining the column or changing the belt tension. Accessories included in the project are angle plate, face plate, fly cutter, tail-stand and compound slide assembly with which you can do large swing lathe jobs. Still no need to look for outside help. It’s a miller and more, and you can build it your self.

Drill Press is also known as book 5 from the best selling 7 book series, 'Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap'. If you have done the projects progressively as the author did you will have done all your drilling with an electric hand drill up to this point. That’s tough and tedious work to say the least and you will really appreciate a drill press. In fact it would not make much sense to proceed to the deluxe accessories without one. You could buy one of course, But anyone could do that.... It drills to the center of a 12" circle with a quill travel of 2 1/2". Two stage speed reduction gives a low speed of 260 rpm for serious large hole drilling. Ball bearings in spindle driven pulley and idler make it smooth and quiet running. Quill feed is by cable or chain drive so there is no rack and pinion to cut.
