There are two basic ways to do this: one is to mount the barrel blank through the headstock, the other is to turn the barrel between centers. The method a gunsmith uses is typically determined by his equipment. If a headstock has a small through-spindle diameter, the through the headstock method will not work.

Not all machine tools are big

Joe Martin loves machine tools of all sizes, but he has a special love for machines at the small end of the size scale. Upon leaving the radio control industry in the 1970's he began as an importer for small lathes from Australia that were to be sold by Sears under the Craftsman name. He also marketed the tools himself under the Sherline name and eventually began producing them in the United States in 1974, having purchased the rights to do so. Expanding the tool and accessory line over the years has given him an appreciation for what these early manufacturers had to deal with in the design, production and marketing of small tools. A few years ago Joe began purchasing small tools as he found them available at shows or auctions. Several have since been donated by other patrons who appreciate small tools and want share them with others. This is just the basis of a good tool collection. The foundation plans to continue to add to this collection as interesting machines become available.

Tapering Between Centers The Mechanics

Seeing the tools in person is an interesting walk through history, from the first simple hand-cranked watchmaker lathes to the electronically speed controlled, laser engraved machines made today. Since not many people can visit the collection in person, we will document each machine here on the Internet Craftsmanship Museum as well for the world to view. As more machines are added to the collection, they will be added here too.

• The mean values for KKU specialist dental clinics were the lowest for all parameters of CA degrees (22.91). ANOVA showed statistically significant (P between all the four dental centers. The MD, BL taper and overall CA for all the premolar teeth was significantly lower than molar teeth.
• Summary Report for: 49-3023.00 - Automotive Service Technicians and Mechanics. Diagnose, adjust, repair, or overhaul automotive vehicles. Sample of reported job titles: Automobile Mechanic (Auto Mechanic), Automotive Drivability Technician (Auto Drivability Tech), Automotive Mechanic (Auto Mechanic), Automotive Service Technician (Auto Service Tech), Heavy Line Technician, Lube Technician.
• The capacity is a swing of 1-5/8' (3-1/4' diameter) by about 6' between centers. The headstock does not actually have a center or an internal taper for one, but rather a threaded end on the spindle shaft is used to accept the chuck which can hold a center.
