Download or read book Small milling machine home made written by Jürgen Eichardt and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To build this small milling machine, of course, you need a lathe and also a milling machine with almost all accessories and tools. You cannot build such a machine at the kitchen table! So, why should a milling machine owner build another small milling machine? • Because he enjoys what he has made himself and the challenge of doing so • Because he does not want to "bother" with a large milling machine with high power consumption for particularly small milling parts in the future. • Because it is simply pleasant to work with such a small machine. In addition to the meticulously compiled building instructions, author Jürgen Eichardt provides numerous references to other book publications and background information on metalworking. However, the book assumes knowledge of the numerous techniques and the milling and turning rules as known. As an introduction to this extensive do-it-yourself project, it is therefore advisable to read the entire book first as a "textbook" before then tackling the construction of the small milling machine and its accessories step by step.

This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written to supply a want is a phrase now become so hackneyed, that it is only repeated here because no other words mould so well express the purpose of the writer-which is, to place before the trade a book of instruction on Cabinet-making by a London Cabinet-maker. From the fact of the London trade being divided and sub-divided into so many branches-wardrobe makers, pianoforte-case makers, photographic ap- paratus makers, dining-table makers, telegraphic- case makers, sideboard makers, glass-showcase makers, chiffonier makers, looking-glass-frame- makers, mathematical-case makers, dressing-case makers, toilet-table makers, chest-of-drawers makers, etc., etc.-and each one of these branches taking apprentices, it follows as a natural consequence that there are many workmen who are thoroughly efficient only in the branch in which they have been specially trained. It mill frequently happen, from slackness in a particular branch of trade, or from a other causea, that a workman is compelled to turn his hand to another branch, and he then finds that he must place himself under an obligation to others for instruction. By all such workmen this little book will be found of value, as well as by apprentices and country work- men unaccustomed to many of the branches of the trade treated of in these pages amateurs, also, who take delight in the art will find the book of great service and lastly, it is hoped it may prove useful as a work of reference to the trade in general. The information given is based on an experience of twenty-five years as a general Cabinet-maker, and can be relied upon. All necessary instructions for veneering and inlaying in fancy woods, for both flat and shaped surfaces, will be found here and the process of dyeing veneers throughout their entire thickness, so little known to the trade, is also fully treated of, as well as the working and staining of ivory, marqueterie, buhl-work, etc., and the con- struction of various kinds of dining-tables. Many valuable recipes are also given, and much information of a miscellaneous character, as will be seen from a glance through the following Contents.
