Book Reviews of Gears & Gear Cutting (Workshop Practice Series 17)
Book Review: another excellent Workshop Practise book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book tells you everything there is to know about gears - how they work, the various types, implications of various designs, limitations, and most importantly, how to build them.
Ivan covers all the common types of gears experienced in the home workshop/ model engineering spheres. He takes the time to explain the mathematics when presented, but also acknowledges that an understanding of the maths is not an absolute pre-requisite to making the gears.
Various methods for making gears is covered, and the manufacture of jigs, and cutters is covered with sufficient depth to allow most people to make their own tooling.
I have been extolling the value of the Workshop Practice series for years, and know they are targeted at all levels of enthusiasts from the novice to the considerably more experienced. This book has enough information to satisfy the intermediate and advanced level person happy, whilst still being totally understandable to the beginner.
Summary of Gears & Gear Cutting (Workshop Practice Series 17)
Gears in one form or another are part of most mechanisms, but they are by no means as simple as they may appear. This book explains simply and comprehensively the underlying theory involved, and in its second part, how to cut gears on a lathe or milling machine.Engineering Books
