About this ebook
With the lathe, workpieces can be machined safely and with the advantage of repeat accuracy. Jürgen Eichardt, trained as a lathe operator and an enthusiastic model maker for a long time, has described the great basics of hobby turning in Volume 1 of his reference book "Turning for Model Makers". In Volume 2, he explains the somewhat more difficult operations and shows unusual tools. Knurling and twisting, thread cutting and form turning, the production of radius and form parting steels, turning with the "side parting steel" ... the list of special tasks and their technologies is long, which Jürgen Eichardt presents and explains to the already somewhat more experienced model maker, again with the help of numerous illustrations and important technical tables. As in volume 1, the reader is amazed by model parts that "could never have been turned" and yet are. The extensive appendix contains a list of companies and literature as well as a subject index for both volumes.
Anyone who wants to fully exploit the possibilities of his bench lathe will find the right, indispensable instructions in the two-volume technical publication "Turning for Model Builders".
