Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Maloy first saw freehand turning performed by an expert blacksmith. Nineteen years since then, Malor has use the technique to make steam engines, small airplane engines, and a muzzle loading barrel rifling machine. He has also managed to bore a hole 44" deep free hand that was off center by only .010" at the opposite end!

Maloy will show you how to make a cutting tool, temper it with a propane torch, sharpen it, make the first pass, the second pass, finish it up, cut high carbon steel, and make additional gravers. Illustrated but less well described are constructions of a bell chuck, turn a finned cylinder for a 3/4" pipe tee engine.
