In the early days of American Machinist Magazine, readers were constantly asking questions one minute, and offering clever solutions to problems the next. The issues at the turn of the last century were particularly rich with the tricks and secrets that experienced old time machinists had devised and had submitted for publication. Machinists were constantly having to machine work that was too big for their equipment. A temporary set up might be necessary. Sometimes an expensive machine part would break and the machinist was called upon to create a simple, low-cost yet durable patch. You'll see how they did it. Some of the articles are of an educational nature: how one imaginative machinist managed to turn an eight foot pulley on a ten inch lathe. Great advice on annealing aluminum. Unusual tool posts. A mold for making small clay crucibles. An ingenious old burning torch. Way of cutting strange threads. And much more. Here. Lindsay gives us even more great stuff, direct from the old farts who had no choice but to use the simple tools and materials at hand to solve complex problems. Their number one tool? Their brain, and a willingness to use it! As usual, the book is richly illustrated. Here’s a complete list of the Old-Timer's Tricks you will find in this book: Machining a Square Hole in the Shaper Mold-Making for Composition Articles A Taper-Measuring Fixture A Boring Attachment Boring Eccentric Holes Boring Thin Pump Cylinders Making an Accurate Index Plate The Operation A Babbitting Fixture Piston-Ring Finishing Fixture Casting Steel Studs in Machine Parts Indexing Attachment for Bench Lathe An Improvised Boring Fixture.
