The Drill Press

Author: David J. Gingery

ISBN: 1878087479
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 135

Book Description
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.

Dividing

Category : Dividing-engine

Book Description
Faced with the prospect of machining a gear or gears for a project, many model engineers will be discouraged and will turn elsewhere for their next model. This need not be so, for the principles underlying gear cutting and many other aspects of engineering where an accurate division of circles is required are explained in depth in this book. Radial work on a metalworking lathe, such as the cutting of gearwheels or the drilling of holes on a set radius, calls for a method of precisely spacing the cuts. This skill is known as Dividing. The principles underlying this aspect of engineering are explained in depth in this book. It covers the subject of Dividing, dealing with the many methods that can be adopted: from simple applications without specialised equipment to the use of a semi-universal dividing head and a rotary table. The mathematical aspects of dividing are also covered but at a level that will be understood easily by a model engineer. Dividing equipment is relatively expensive, so two fully-detailed designs are included for dividing heads: a basic unit and the equivalent of a commercial semi-universal head.
