offer. Our "How to build a Red Wing"
has been a big hit with new model builders and new
machinists alike. You are provided with detailed build
information specific to the Red Wing. If you are new
to modeling, this can be a real time saver.
Now we have another great book to offer. "Tabletop
Machining" by Joe Martin. This is a 350 page book
that is loaded with hundreds of large color photos.
With over 35 years of experience, Joe gets into a lot
of detail about the "how to and why" of operating
machining equipment. Sherline lathes and mills are
used throughout the book, but the practice applies to
every size milling machine and lathe.
a step by step guide to help
you through the unusual
processes involved with
building a working, internal
combustion Model Engine.
The book covers basic
tooling, operating speeds
and feed rates for your
equipment. It also covers
suggested methods for
machining all of the parts
included in the casting kit.
Because I don’t have 35
years of machining
experience, the basic
problems and pitfalls that
someone new to machining
will experience are fresh in
my mind. I try to cover
these at the appropriate
time throughout the book.
If you have limited
machining experience, this
book will make your project
much more enjoyable.
If you are an accomplished
machinist, but have never
built a model, this will help
you too.
The book is 8.5" x 11" with
just under 140 pages. The
135 color photos include
individual parts as well as
assemblies in various
stages of completion.
The photos alone make this
book a valuable asset. The
charts, tables and how to
information, just add to its
value.
The cost is $100.00 plus
$5.00 p&h to all 50 states.
A little extra to other
locations.
Joe Martin
Gives you the "hows" and the "whys" of
machining at both ends of the size scale.
Being a hobbyist himself as well as a
manufacturer, Joe Martin is familiar with the
needs of both the home shop machinist and
the commercial production facility. His
insights offer a unique and practical
perspective on equipment and processes of
machining at both extremes...from intricate
miniature projects to full size shop production
tools and practices.
This book details "real world" practices in
machining and gives a good insight into the
challenges faced by machinists. Too often
good craftsmen are stopped from venturing
forth because the only information available
shows only the technically perfect way to do
things rather than the simple, practical
methods everyone really uses. This book
should be required reading for all newly
graduated engineers. For those wishing to
design and build their first metal parts it is a
perfect starting point. Naturally, Sherline tools
are featured throughout in the examples, but
the rules of machining apply to all types of
equipment and sizes of projects.
Information is given on selecting materials;
using a lathe and a mill; measuring and
measurement tools; cutting tools; joining
metal (welding and soldering); using
accessories for threading, indexing and gear
cutting; setting up a home shop; contests and
information resources for machinists and
much more.
Plans and instructions for several simple
projects are provided for beginning
machinists. A gallery of photos of superb
miniature projects will inspire you, while
personal profiles of six different craftsmen
show how others approach various aspects of
metalworking. A history of Sherline tools is
written from the point of view of giving you
some guidance if you've ever thought of
taking a product of your own to market. If you
like tools and working on small, intricate
projects, you should plan on adding this book
to your library.
Printed on 344 pages of high quality, glossy
paper, this large 81/2 x 11" soft-bound book
is packed with over 400 color photos and
many informative line drawings by Craig
Libuse. The "lay-flat" binding makes it easy to
read and use as a reference. The 12-point
cover is laminated with a plastic coating to
protect it.
Now in its third printing, the book has been a
continued hot seller. The third edition includes
8 more pages with new information on the
history of Sherline and a number of new
photos. The first chapter has also been
rewritten and a new chapter on "CNC in the
home shop" was added.
