It pulls together the relevant information every metal lathe user should know and understand about indexable tooling and carbide inserts. The material is presented in a logical and tutorial manner and includes extensive field-tested recommendations for indexable tools, carbide inserts, and best practices for their use. For newcomers to the world of carbide inserts and toolholders, this handbook offers practical suggestions on what tools to buy to get started and how to expand your tool collection over time. And if you already own indexable tooling, this handbook will take help you decipher insert characteristics, and eliminate confusion when buying the correct insert for the job at hand. For less than the cost of a package of carbide inserts or a single indexable tool, this handbook can be your guide to selecting indexable tooling and inserts with confidence. The field of indexable tooling is complex, murky, and poorly explained for someone who is not a professional tooling engineer. Much of the available printed and online information is steeped in seemingly endless code-words, acronyms, and secret recipes. This handbook cuts through all this complexity and distills the information for novice and experienced machinists alike. There are four main sections to this handbook: The basics of indexable tooling terminology are covered, with specific suggestions on what tools to buy if just getting started, along with extensive lists of tools to round out your collection based on your experience level, types of projects you tackle, and your budget. The section on carbide inserts draws on many sources of information and helps the small shop user make informed and confident decisions when choosing or buying an insert for a particular project. Each lathe tool category is covered in-depth, along with specific recommendations for tools and inserts for turning/facing, threading, parting/cut-off, and boring. The final section demystifies the alphabet soup used to distinguish and specify carbide inserts and toolholders. Also included is information on feeds and speeds, quick-change tool post and tool holder selection, sources of supply, and a glossary of terms.

Download or read book The Charcoal Foundry written by David J. Gingery and published by David J. Gingery Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charcoal Foundry, the first book in the "Metal Working Shop From Scrap Series", gives you plans for building a metal melting furnace and instructions on basic pattern making and molding. All the information needed to set up a foundry in your work shop can be found in this book. Simply stated, if you can build a sand castle or make a mud pie, you can make a sand mold to produce castings for your metal shop projects. The main ingredient in these projects is scrap aluminum and pot metal. The only tools you need to get started are ordinary home shop hand tools, many of which are probably already in your possession. Much of the remainder is found as salvage or cast-off and little expense need be involved. The charcoal foundry is simple to build and operate and the initial cost is so low that it can be in the reach of nearly anyone. And the fundamentals of pattern-making and molding are easily understood and mastered. Once you have built the charcoal foundry and the metal lathe in book 2, there is little beyond your reach by way of shop equipment. Build as large or small as you wish and you are your own parts supply company. If you already have some machine shop equipment, you will find that adding a foundry to your shop greatly expands your capacity. Being able to produce your own castings for accessories and equipment is a great advantage. Design your own, make a copy or follow a plan. It's easy when you're in control and can produce your own castings.
