Bench Lathe Manufacture and Hand Scraping (Machinery’s Industrial Secrets), selected articles from 1921-1923 issues of Machinery Magazine, published by Lindsay Publications, Bradley, Ill., 1998, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 paperback, 48 pages. ISBN 1-55918-216-4 Please note this new not used. Hand scraping is a nearly forgotten and lost skill, but is often crucial for restoring machine tools to their original accuracy and performance. In this little booklet, Lindsay compiled a handful of articles that explain the basics of the skill, the tools, and methods. Obviously, you won’t become an expert just by reading this, but this booklet will show you how to get started, and guide you as your skills develop. You get details on how precision lathes were accurately and quickly built. You'll walk through the Potter and TLM factories in England and see beds being milled, headstocks being bored and aligned, bearing cones being ground, dovetails being milled and much more. You also get a short but beautifully illustrated article on hand scraping frosted surfaces and chessboard flaking that can be used not only for fit but for decorative effect as well. These eight pages are well worth the price of the book alone.
