Home – John’s model engineering interests
This site covers my interests in model engineering.
The material on this website was, originally, just about milling. As it expand it is organised by the process used to make something. It seems that many people are more interested in “how to” or “how to make” type questions. In this case, it is possible on any page, to use the search option to find something.
There seems to be a difference between “how to” and “how to make”.
“how to make” index see “Make”
Many ways of making a metal component can be classified into three main classes. There is where a piece of metal has its shape changed into that required. In this case the volume of the starting piece and the end piece stay, roughly, the same. There is then where the workpiece is made by removing metal from the starting piece and then, there are processes whereby metal is added to the starting piece.
