Precision Dividing for Small Shop Metalworkers
Description
A skill that consists of precisely spacing cuts, dividing is a crucial technique for gear cutting and radial work on a metalworking lathe. This complete guide to dividing clearly explains its principles and covers everything a model engineer needs to know about dividing and several methods that can be achieved - from simple applications without specialized equipment to the use of a semi-universal dividing head and a rotary table. The mathematics of dividing are also included and written in an easy-to-understand format that won't intimidate. Author Harold Hall was the editor of Model Engineers' Workshop magazine and established himself as a mentor to Tyro model engineers worldwide. He is also the author of seven books in the indispensable Home Machinists Series.
