Model Engineers' Workshop Magazine | December 2013
This issue is a bumper 100 page issue and includes the 2013 Model Engineer Exhibition 16 page show guide. There are two free plans, one to make a set of Martin Evans bending rolls and the other to make Edgar T. Westbury’s self-feeding boring head.
Also inside:
• Harold Hall looks at toolmakers’ clamps.
• Stephen Bondfield uses an outrunner motor to power a miniature drill.
• Alan Jackson describes the construction of his award-winning Stepperhead Lathe.
• Alan Hearsum fits taper roller bearings to a Myford ML7 lathe.
• Fred Maddalena tackles blackening steel in the home workshop
• David Piddington machines a Hemingway kit including materials and a casting as he describes making an instrument-makers’ vice.
Need some pointers on making a versatile portable vice stand? Howard Jennings shares how he gets the best out of his for fixing and repairing.
There is also something for engineers at different levels with CNC: Marcus Bowman continues his series of articles aimed at beginners, while John Pace increases his own CNC machine capacity, converting a Warco GH1000 lathe.
Mark Noel uses lateral thinking and makes a lip salve lubricator for use while turning.
And we review the latest Neo for Iwata trigger airbrush and miniature compressor.
As usual, there’s all the usual features. Enjoy your read!
