Harold Hall Livres

Focusing on hands-on learning, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to metal lathe techniques through 12 progressively challenging projects. Beginners will explore essential machining operations, starting with simple tasks and advancing to more complex creations, such as a milling cutter chuck that requires precision. Each project is supported by detailed illustrations and working drawings, ensuring readers build practical skills while equipping their workshops with useful tools.

A project book including 18 designs for workshop equipment based on the author's popular articles published in Model Engineer's Workshop magazine. The projects are in themselves satisfying exercises in metalworking that once completed will make valuable additions to the model engineer's range of equipment.

The principles underlying radial work on a metalworking lathe are explained in depth in this book. It covers the methods that can be adopted: from simple applications without specialised equipment to the use of a semi-universal dividing head and a rotary table.

Sharpening workshop tools is one task that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment.

Here is a complete course by Harold Hall, based upon the author's successful series of lathe projects originally written for Model Engineers' Workshop magazine. When read together, they represent a complete course in model engineering from basic techniques to ambitious projects.

A comprehensive introduction to the milling machine, assuming no previous experience, by one of Model Engineers' Workshop magazine's leading authorities. Eight projects lead prospective model engineers through all of the techniques involved; each project is extensively illustrated with step-by- step photographs and workshop drawings.

Focusing on the practical aspects of milling machines, this guide offers in-depth knowledge for selecting, installing, and operating these tools in a home workshop. It includes detailed explanations of essential accessories and techniques for holding various workpieces, emphasizing the importance of proper setup. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs and diagrams, the book also covers cutting techniques and maintenance for milling tools, making it an invaluable resource for hobbyists navigating the complexities of milling machinery.

Contains a comprehensive range of mathematical data which is required in the metalworking workshop and by those designing a wide range of engineered items, tools and machines. This book provides in a single concise volume that is otherwise only available by reference to many different sources.

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 book deals with choosing and using a milling machine and its accessories - the cutters, cutter chucks, workpiece clamps, vices, angle plates, dividing heads, rotary tables, boring heads and other minor items. The usage of each machine and accessory is described in sufficient detail for the vast majority of uses in the home workshop.
