Using castings from your charcoal foundry (see Book 1 in the series: The Charcoal Foundry by David Gingery) and simple hand methods (no machine tools needed!) you can build a sturdy and accurate bed for a metal lathe. Then additional castings, common hardware items and improvised equipment will add the headstock, tailstock, carriage and all the remaining parts to complete the lathe. Illustrated with photos and drawings to show you all you need to know about patterns, molding, casting and finishing the parts. The lathe specs. include a 7" swing over the bed and 12" between centers. Adjustable tailstock with set-over for taper turning. Adjustable gibs in sliding members and adjustable sleeve bearings in the headstock. A truly practical machine capable of precision work. Once you have a foundry to cast the parts and a lathe to machine them you can tackle more exotic projects.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. David J. Gingery (illustrator). 1st Edition. This new copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued. It has subsequently been professionally rebound in full red calf with bright gilt titling to the spine and the upper board. The contents are bright, tight, white and square. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. A fantastic how to book, the second book in the series. You do need to have read and built that first if you are going to build this, but worth reading even if you are not. It tells you every thing you need to know. The main things stopping me are a wife and a lack of space & time. The other is cold rolled steel doesn't seem to be that freely available any more. At time of writing the main bed section is about £30 online plus delivery a whole lathe of similar size £600 so this is still worth doing. Written in imperial but that is no problem as you make one part to fit the previous as long as you check your conversions are all over or all under you won't end up trying to drill a hole bigger than the piece of metal you are drilling. If this were the standard gce metal work project the UK would not have a skills shortage in engineering. Not that you need it but there is also quite a bit of online help from others who've built these. Most miss the point completely that you start with a hand drill a file and a scraper and end up with a precision machine tool. Ref UU 3. Seller Inventory # 031215
