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.

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
