  • Building a Battle Station Model by Russell Barnes
    Building a Battle Station Model By Russell Barnes I. Introduction The summer is usually a pretty difficult time for me to work in my workshop. Chores abound around the house and there is seemingly some-thing to do almost every day that precludes any useful time spent in the workshop. The summer of 2004 was no different. By the time late July rolled around, I was desperate. I had not made anything for over a month. Something had to be done. What to do? Then it hit me. I was looking over the latest Model Expo catalogue and saw they still offered kit models of small battle stations. Not wanting to build a kit, I saw the potential for a quick scratch built project. Over the next two weeks I built a battle station model that turned out to be quite a conversation piece. As fate would have it, that model was destroyed when Hurricane Katrina washed away the local museum. I have decided to replace the battle station model, but it occurred to me that others might benefit from my experience having built it. So, I redrew the plans, making some improve-ments, and decided to set down a guide to building the model. I am not an expert and I make no claim that my methods are the only way to build the model. Someone building from these plans should view my words as a collection of helpful hints rather than a map to follow in order to arrive at a desired result. I envision this project as an introduction to scratch building.

  • Grinding Machine Construction Types of Grinders
    Grinding machine A grinding machine is a machine tool used for producing very fine finishes or making very light cuts, using an abrasive wheel as the cutting device. This wheel can be made up of various sizes and types of stones, diamonds or of inorganic materials. For machines used to reduce particle size in materials processing see grinding. Construction The grinding machine consists of a power driven grinding wheel spinning at the required speed (which is determined by the wheel’s diameter and manufacturer’s rating, usually by a formula) and a bed with a fixture to guide and hold the work-piece. The grinding head can be controlled to travel across a fixed work piece or the workpiece can be moved whilst the grind head stays in a fixed position. Very fine control of the grinding head or tables position is possible using a vernier calibrated hand wheel, or using the features of NC or CNC controls. Grinding machines remove material from the workpiece by abrasion, which can generate substantial amounts of heat; they therefore incorporate a coolant to cool the workpiece so that it does not overheat and go outside its tolerance. The coolant also benefits the machinist as the heat generated may cause burns in some cases. In very high-precision grinding machines (most cylindrical and surface grinders) the final grinding stages are usually set up so that they remove about 2/10000mm (less than 1/100000 in) per pass - this generates so little heat that even with no coolant, the temperature rise is negligible. Types of grinders These machines include the Belt grinder, which is usually used as a machining method to process metals and other materials, with the aid of coated abrasives.

  • A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop?
    A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop? YOU ARE HERE: Fine Woodworking Home Skills & Techniques A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop? From the pages of Fine Woodworking Magazine A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop? For cutting sheet goods in tight quarters, this carpenter's tool, used with a sacrificial table and dedicated cutting guides, produces joint-quality cuts with ease by Gary Williams Contractors couldn't live without the portable circular saw, but we of the warm, dry furniture shop tend to leave it on the same shelf as the chainsaw. Great for building a deck but far too crude for quartersawn oak. Necessity has a way of teaching us humility, however. I've been a sometimes-professional woodworker for nearly 30 years, but somehow I have never managed to attain the supremely well-equipped shop. I work alone in a no-frills, two-car garage that I share with a washer, a dryer, a water heater and a black Labrador. My machines are on the small side, and I lack the space for large permanent outfeed and side extension tables for my tablesaw. Perhaps you can relate. Under these conditions, cutting a full sheet of plywood can be a very challenging operation. Even if you have your shop set up to handle sheet goods with ease, perhaps you've run into similar difficulties cutting plywood and lumber accurately on job sites and installations. The solution? May I suggest the humble circular saw? Cutting lumber and plywood with a handheld circular saw is nothing new. You've probably done it before, with varying degrees of success.

Tool Engineering Design for sharpness, accuracy, tool and machine rigidity, machine spindle bearings wear, general quality of Manufacturability machine, use of drill fixtures, material thermal expansion, and material density variations are some to the reasons hole features will never be manufactured perfect. Comprehensive guide for proper design of geometry, process Most commercial twist drills have a diameter slightly smaller than the stated nominal size, however capabilities & proper mechanical the actual hole feature will likely be manufactured larger than the nominal size of the drill tool. tolerance specifications. Compensating for manufacturing tool and process variability is a significant challenge for tight toleranced holes. For Drill size chart for both Metric and ANSI sizes see: Machinist Drill Sizes - ANSI Size Drills, ISO Metric Drill Sizes HOLE DIAMETER TOLERANCE-STANDARD DRILLED HOLE TOLERANCES Per. AND10387 Airforce Navy Aeronautical Design Stanard These size and tolerance are for Drilled Hole Size Tolerance holes drilled with a drilling machine using suitable jigs and .0135 THRU .125 +.004/ -.001 fixtures. The hole tolerances depend upon the diameter of the .1260 THRU .250 +.005/ -.001 hole and increase as the hole size increases. The following are .2510 THRU .500 +.006/-.001 standard tolerances for general machine work and apply in all .5010 THRU .750 +.008/ -.001 cases except where greater or .7510 THRU 1.000 +.010/ -.001 lesser accuracy is required by the 1 .001 THRU 2.000 +.012/ -.001 design.
