Spindles for Small Shop Metalworkers

The possibilities of what you can achieve in your workshop are greatly enhanced if you have spindles to use with your lathe! A complete and crucial guide for amateur engineers, this book describes the design, construction, and use for a variety of useful spindles that range in shape and size. Featuring over 150 scale plans, line drawings, and a collection of helpful data tables, this metalworking guide clearly outlines several techniques for milling, grinding, and drilling spindles that are easy to make and have as few parts as possible. Author Harprit Singh Sandhu is an American engineer and the founder of Rhino Robots Inc. The chief designer of the 'Rhino' series of robots, he is also a machinist, woodworker, and clockmaker -- the latter of which inspired him to design and build the spindles described in this book.
