Download or read book Turning Wood with Carbide Tools written by John English and published by Linden Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything a woodturner needs to know about using and implementing the exciting new technology of replaceable carbide cutting tips is included in this guide. Woodturning tools have taken a quantum leap since the recent introduction of these tips that have greatly simplified the task of turning in dry stock. Carbide-tipped woodturning tools are safer, faster, easier, and more efficient than traditional tools that require grinding the end of a piece of fluted steel to one of dozens of subjective profiles. The technology of the carbide cutters is fully explained, as are the various shafts and the function of the handle designs, providing insight into how and why these cutters act as they do, and why they are shaped as they are. Removing the intimidating aspects of turning, the guide explains the elimination of sharpening, addresses the issues of chatter and fatigue, and advises on maintenance, techniques, and usage. A number of projects are included--such as a candlestick, spinning tops, and a basic bowl--that can be completed right away by novice turners, rather than waiting for years to gain enough experience to do the same job with traditional tools.

Download or read book Multi Axis Spindle Turning written by Barbara Dill and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master the art of multi-axis spindle turning! This book offers a strategy for understanding multi-axis turning and the many options available to create unique forms. Dill, a self-professed "experimental turner," takes readers step by step through this complex area of turning. Working in multiple axes on a spindle can be confusing, but as Dill teaches the "hows" of turning spindles as systematic building blocks for future work, turners can finally make this skill their own. Hundreds of photos and diagrams offer detailed guidance, and explain the variables--axis placement, profile, orientation of the new axis to the center axis, and so on--and how they apply to each "quadrant" of multi-axis work. Split and thermed turning methods, planning tips, tricks of the trade, and a three-sided cup or vase project help you succeed. Concepts come to life as Dill shows examples of not only her work, but the work of other expert turners.

Book excerpt: Were you fascinated by a woodturning project you came across and have since then, searched the Internet for one book with all the juicy bits of information in the art of woodturning?

This book, Woodturning Book for Beginners, amazingly has virtually everything, and by everything, I mean the tips, techniques, guidelines, pictures, and instructions you will need to make you feel like you are in a classroom where the art of woodturning is taught. Are you perhaps just hearing of the lathe machine? Have you probably gotten intimidated by the somewhat complicated way a lathe device looks like? You know, you can't really judge a book by its cover. Relax and know what this art entails first. Trust me; you'll love it. What exactly does woodturning entail? Woodturning is an art that involves the turning of a wood stock on a lathe device that is either mounted on a bench or bolted to the floor. So, while the wood is turned, you will work a series of cutting tools through the wood to cut through it. You wouldn't believe it, but the principle of woodturning has been in existence for a pretty long time. The only issue is that the projects made in the past could not stand the test of time since they rotted quickly. However, the devices got better and more efficient over the years, causing many people to take this art as a hobby and job, even! There are now preservative agents and finishes that prevent the wood from rotting. The lathe device is cheap, and as long as you can exercise a lot of patience while reading through the guidelines you will see in this book, you will be good to go. Perhaps you have seen some wood-work projects and gotten awed by them? Do you see yourself doing something very similar to those things? Yes? Then this book is just what you need. Just like the name suggests, this book is very suitable for beginners, but then you don't remain a beginner at the end of the book. You come out neatly polished and ready to make professional turnings. Experts in woodturning art are also free to peruse this book as it will refine them even more and add to what they already know. At the end of this book, you will; 1. Be familiar with the historical bit of information and the timelines in which the lathe machine existed. 2. Be enlightened on the techniques, tips, and tools that will guide you in producing your first woodturning project. 3. Be aware of what to do to keep yourself safe and free from any potential hazard while using the lathe device. 4. Be educated on the tools and materials needed for your projects, including how to source the right tools and materials. 5. Kickstart your woodturning experience with the help of 15 woodturning project ideas with well-detailed directions. 6.
