Dividing by Harold Hall explains how radial work on a metalworking lathe, such as the cutting of gear wheels or the drilling of holes on a set radius, calls for a method of precisely spacing the cuts. The principles underlying this aspect of engineering are explained in depth in this book.
I’ve been wanting to learn how to make gears. For clockwork, so this book caught my eye. Mr Hall builds a divider that should be good enough to use. Looking forward to the time to do both projects.
