A Unimat mini-lathe authority has developed numerous accessories and techniques to assist the model engineer in getting the best from the machine. These projects increase the scope of the machine and advise on the performance of a number of tricky operations.

The long-awaited new edition of Tubal Cain's comprehensive, classic guide to making the reading technical workshop drawings, featuring the author's classic text with completely new illustrations and technical drawings, specially created for this purpose.

When Harold Hall was Editor of Model Engineer's Workshop magazine, he was surprised by how just so many of his readers had no access to a workshop at home, or even at college. His new book is a complete guide to building or converting and equipping a workshop space.

This practical book describes the wide range of bearings found in different types of models built in home workshops. It reviews the choice of bearings, materials, the type of bearing to use for each particular application and highlights the differences between home made and off-the-shelf bearings.

All types of electric motors for workshop use are described here. Principles, characteristics, operation, installation, speed control, braking etc. plus generators, safety, testing and a useful section on identifying and applying scrap motors.

This book covers basic principles of foundrywork - materials and techniques, pattern-making, moulding boxes, cores and core boxes, metals, electric, gas, coke furnaces and step-by-step procedures. Although written primarily for the model engineer, anyone wishing to make mouldings or castings will profit from its pages.

In this book, Tubal Cain discusses drills and drilled holes and threading with taps and dies, primarily by hand. Imperial and metric sizes plus conversions are included together with all standard thread gauges, sharpening etc.

This title, which replaced the very popular Electroplating for the Amateur, will be of value to model engineers and small workshops wishing to plate with any of the customary metals using simple equipment.

Small workshops, including those of model engineers, are making increasing use of small vertical milling machines. This book explains how to use them (and lathe milling attachments) in clear terms.

Tubal Cain, who has enjoyed more than sixty years experience in designing and building engines and machines (in both full size and model scale) shares his experiences of making 52 ancillary lathe devices.

Describes the design, construction and use of a variety of spindles that will be of interest to the amateur engineer. Milling, grinding and drilling spindles are covered along with a unique light gear cutting frame for clockmakers.
