WELDING
ESSENTIALS
By Frank
M. Marlow
Illustrated by Pamela J. Tallman
Finally...welding
made easy for beginners and a quick reference book for the experienced professional.
As a concise
yet thorough introduction to the topic Welding Essentials is designed for educators,
engineers, contractors, fabricators, hobbyists, students and beginning weldors.
Its unique, comprehensive question-and-answer format allows readers to quickly
find what they are looking for and fully understand it. Eliminating
non-essential items to prevent overloading the reader, Welding
Essentials addresses safety hazards and required precautions in detail and provides
solutions to common problems for each process. It discusses the difference between
constant-voltage and constant-current power supplies and traces the development
of welding power supplies from motor-generator sets to transformers to the inverters
of today. And it carefully explains step-by-step setup and shutdown procedures,
along with why equipment ground and GFI's are needed and the way in which they
work. In fact, no other welding text covers electrical safety as thoroughly as
Welding Essentials. What's more, a metallurgy chapter explains how welding heat
affects metals' properties and how to minimize its negative effects and provides
a clear explanation of hardening, tempering and heat treating steel.
As a valuable guide for beginning weldors, it presents essential material in small,
easy-to-read and understandable units and introduces them to weld inspection,
welding symbols, and qualification and certification issues. Welding Essentials
uses more than 300 illustrations to clarify and explain every subject and includes
a comprehensive glossary in English and Spanish. Price
$29.99 ( WE001

MACHINE
SHOP ESSENTIALS
By Frank
M. Marlow
Illustrated by Pamela J. Tallman
A
comprehensive and detailed presentation of manual machine tools and methods, machine
shop know-how and practical shop tips. Machine Shop Essentials is
for machinists, engineers, model makers, R & D lab technicians, instrument
makers, prototype builders, product designers and gunsmiths who need to make prototypes,
models or spare parts, or need to modify existing equipment. This book can also
be used to gain a basic understanding of machine tools before moving on to computer-controlled
machine tools.
More than half the book is devoted to small and medium-size lathes and milling
machines, such as Levin jewelers' lathes, Sherline miniature lathes and mills,
Clausing lathes, and Bridgeport-style vertical milling machines. It examines how
these machines are constructed, their cutting tools and accessories and how to
use them.
This
back-to-basics book contains all the information needed for a fundamental understanding
of machine tools, and presents this information in the same straightforward, easy-to-read
question-and-answer format used in the author's two successful welding books:
Welding Essentials and Welding Fabrication & Repair.

ADVANCED
SHEET METAL FABRICATION
by
Timothy Remus
Advanced Sheet Metal Fabrication, is a photo-intensive how-to book. See Craig
Naff build a Rolls Royce fender, Rob Roehl create a motorcycle gas tank, Ron Covell
form part of a quarter midget body, and Fay Butler shape a aircraft wheel fairing
and the front section for an old Lotus race car.
Methods and tools include
the English wheel, power hammer, shrinkers and stretchers, and of course the hammer
and dolly. The projects presented in this book involve multiple panels - each
of which must be designed, cut, shaped and then joined to the others to create
the finished fender or gas tank. Photo sequences cover building the buck, creating
a paper template, cutting the steel or aluminum, forming the piece, welding and
finishing.
INCLUDES: * Sequences in aluminum and steel * Multi-piece projects * Seven
start-to-finish sequences * From building the buck to TIG welding the panels *
Includes interviews with the metal shapers * Automotive, motorcycle and aircraft
