Learning the Lost Art of Hand Scraping, from Eight Classic Machine Shop Textbooks, reprinted by by Lindsay Publications, Bradley, IL, 2005. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 paperback, 48 pages, ISBN 1-55918-322-5 Building, restoring and reconditioning machine tools requires hand scraping to bring surfaces to a precision fit. But you can't find anything about hand scraping in modern machine shop texts. You have to go back a century or more -- when precision hand scraping was a skill required of every self-respecting machinist. Here, Lindsay has pulled together not one, not two, but EIGHT articles, starting with Appelton's 1880 Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics and progressing through the 1917 edition of Machinery's Encyclopedia. Since scraping is more easily learned by doing than by reading, you'll find that all the articles here cover essentially the same material, and many use almost the same illustrations. But each author adds his own special twist. Probably the most difficult part in getting started is knowing how to grind a scraper to the "right" shape. And you'll get good advice on that in these pages. Table of Contents: Appletons' Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics - 1880 Modern Practice of American Machinists & Engineers - 1882 Rose's Modern Machine-Shop Practice - 1889 ICS Reference Library - 1903 Modem Machine Shop Tools - 1903 Machine-Shop Tools & Methods - 1905-1919 Cyclopedia of Engineering - 1906 Machinery's Encyclopedia- 1917
