Turning and milling in model making (PoD)

Who knows the number of lathes and milling machines purchased in the hobby sector? Who knows the problems of the dedicated precision mechanics who are left alone with the concentrated technology at home?

In this book, a dedicated modeler and a recognized expert has finally taken the tremendous trouble to explain everything in a practical and detailed manner from the layman's point of view. With the help of countless photos and drawings, it is shown step by step how metals, plastics and wood are machined. Even the most complicated working techniques are discussed, so that even the turning machine professional will be enthusiastic. There one feels literally very closely hobby without any superficiality.

In addition to workplace design and the indispensable material science, many different lathes are presented, their use as well as the necessary extensive accessories are treated and the turning of simple as well as complicated parts is shown. In addition, this basic manual devotes much space to the milling machine and its application. A separate chapter deals with the manufacture of very useful auxiliary equipment, such as a tool-grinding device. An extensive table section, a reference source list and a subject index complete this comprehensive work on turning and milling technology.
