Bench lathe manufacture & hand scraping how to book
In this series of articles reprinted from Machinery Magazine from about 1921 you get details on how precision lathes were accurately and quickly built. You'll walk through the Potter and TLM factories in England and see beds being milled, headstocks being bored and aligned, bearing cones being ground, dovetails being milled and much more.
You also get a short but beautifully illustrated article on hand scraping used not only for fit but for decorative effect as well. These eight pages are well worth the price of the book alone.
If you have any questions please e-mail me.
