If you use the internet we hope you will visit our completely new website. Youll be able to see larger photos and longer descriptions of many of the projects together with a gallery of customers photos. Youll also be able to securely place an order, using either your credit/debit card or Paypal account. If youre after a different challenge have a look at the Hemingway Engine Bay featuring 17 model engine projects (Petrol & Steam) anything from a single cylinder 2-stroke to a 4-stroke V8.
With our investments in top-end CAD systems, digital photography and colour laser printing, we have raised our designer original works to the latest industry levels. Drawings are generated from digital solid models, which are used to check all assemblies for fit and function. Isometric, sectional and detail views are included, together with a full bill of materials and machining sequences for any complex operations. Our construction notes, generally composed by the designer, allow you to understand the importance of each set-up and how it fits within the overall plan. Typically, the notes include photographs, which are invaluable for describing an operation. Please note however that for the Universal Pillar Tool (UPT) and Versatile Dividing Head (VDH), George Thomas book, Workshop Techniques, provides all of the necessary construction notes. Whilst Hemingway drawings are included with the VDH projects, you will need to use the book for the UPT.

A Centre Lathe, typically of at least 3 centre height (7 Swing) and 13 between centres. Screw cutting facilities are essential for many of the kits. A Pillar Drill, typically of at least drill capacity with a motor of at least hp. A facility for Light Milling; a good vertical slide, bolted to your lathe's cross-slide, will suffice for all but a few of the kits. However, if you do have a dedicated Milling Machine, your progress will be at a much faster pace and a few of the project will require this. If you're in the market for one, we'd suggest a vertical mill of at least 1 hp, 14 of X-travel and a speed range of 100 - 2,000 rpm.
Other Workshop Basics Leaving aside the obvious paraphernalia, you'll need:
! ! ! ! !
A good solid Bench Vice of say 4 capacity or better. Micrometers and a 6 Vernier Calliper, the best you can afford. You should be able to determine down to 0.00025 (2 tenths) below an inch and 0.001 above an inch. Dial Test & Dial Gauge Indicators, try for a DGI of at least travel and resolution of 0.0005. Go to town on your DTI; our has a total travel of 0.009 and resolves to 0.00005 ( of a tenth). You'll pay about 60 for a famous brand. A Surface Plate, perhaps not essential for every kit but sooner or later you'll need a standard surface. If you have a flat bed lathe, you may get away with using it as a surface plate. Otherwise, a piece of plate glass or a second hand or imported table are equally good. 10 x 12 should do it. Taps, Dies, Drills & Reamers, You'll need taps for BA (8,6,4 & 2), BSF (1/4, 5/16 & 3/8), BSW (5/16 & 3/8) and an some ME sizes (e.g. x 40tpi BSW) . You'll need dies for the larger sizes only (2BA to 3/8 BSW). If you're biased towards Metric and UNF/UNC, its fine to substitute these. Buy Number drills or Metric equivalents to support all of you taps. If you can find a set of machine reamers from 1/8 to 5/8 by 16ths, you'll avoid a number of fine-boring exercises. A clever man solves a problem; a wise man avoids it - Albert Einstein. A Blowtorch, a few kits require silver soldering of components and many include silver steels that need hardening. Buy propane, NOT butane.

Speed Increaser
The majority of milling machines available to small workshop owners have a top spindle speed of less than 3,000 rpm. For most general milling purposes this is fine, but if you use cutters with a diameter of less than 2mm, this is not adequate. These smaller cutters are stock-in-trade for the clock maker for profiling, crossing out and engraving in brass. The Speed Increaser, designed by Dick Stephen, is a simple, oil filled epicyclic gear box, offering a 3X speed increase. It can be quickly fitted to any spindle to give an output speed of up to 9,000 rpm. Please note that the design provides an output rotation OPPOSITE to input rotation. Consequently, you will need to be able to reverse your machine's spindle to use conventional cutters. Order our reversing switch (SP 1018) if required. Along with drawings (metric only) and construction notes, the kit comes complete with all necessary material including gears, bearings, steel, bronze, and fasteners. HK1690 91.00

The small ball handle causes the complete Top Slide (with tool) to retract by around 5/32 (4mm). This greatly facilitates the cutting of both external and internal threads. It is also valuable for those final finishing cuts on both diameters and faces. A much larger micrometer (100 x 0.001 graduations) dial is used, which can be zeroed and positively locked.
! !
The dial and feed handle are connected to the feed screw by a pair of gears, which allows the feed handle to be moved upwards and outwards, thus reducing the tendency for the feed handle to foul the tailstock body or the cross slide handle.
The kit includes semi-finished blanks for the Left Hand Acme feed screw and nut (10 tpi only), the 2 necessary gears, and ALL required fasteners, springs, steel, brass, bronze and aluminium sections. Construction notes and our latest CAD drawings make this project a joy to follow; all you need to add is your time and capabilities! HK1240 109.90

Clamping force relative to axial length is formidable! Experience lead us to state that, provided at least 1" of a tool is engaged, your tool will snap long before ER collets slip. Each ER collet holds a 1mm range of diameters. For example, a 6-7mm collet merrily holds 1/4" (6.35mm) tools or material. Uniquely, the collets are also able to hold drills and cutters by their flutes; a practice not recommended by Jacobs or Albrecht for example! ER collets are self extracting; as you loosen the closing ring, an ejector mechanism pulls the collet clear. No blood, no sweat, no tears! Finally, ER collets are quite affordable.
! ! !
The Oxford chuck has been very carefully designed for the small workshop. The ER20 format (DIN standard 6499) encompasses 0.5mm to 13mm with 13 collets. A full set allows every drill, end mill, tap, arbor or work piece from No.76 to 1/2" to be held firmly and concentrically in your spindle or tailstock. With a 2MT shank, the chuck is manufactured from high tensile steel and is tapped 3/8" BSW for a draw bar. As the Oxford chuck is hollow, drills (up to 8mm) held on their flutes can be accommodated with only a rigid stub length protruding. Where daylight is limited, the Oxford chuck can really increase the scope of your equipment. HK 1680 - The Oxford Chuck including the chuck body and closing ring QS 3000 - 12 Piece ER20 Collet Set.

Centre-Height Gauge
Based on G H Thomas' elegant and simple design for setting tools at centre height relative to lathe bed (upper knife) or cross slide (lower knife). The post can be revolved to the best position for setting most lathe tools including boring bars and parting blades. This gauge is suitable for lathes up to 6 centre-height. The kit includes drawings and construction notes together with the iron base casting, bar material and ground, hardenable flat stock for the knives. HK1820 18.00

Knurling Tools
Have mercy on your lathe! Conventional, fixed-arm tools set up almost unbearable strain on the spindle bearings of the light lathe. Moreover, the finished knurl produced in this way is seldom satisfactory. Neither of the following designs create these strains; allowing the two knurls to 'float' on the work. Each employs two sturdy cheek plates which steady the arms enormously when traversing the work. Each design accept straight (SP 1008) or diamond (SP 1007) pattern knurls which can be ordered separately and can quickly be changed from one pattern to the other.

The attachment bolts to the rear of the lathe bed. Myford supply their 7 Series lathes with holes already drilled and tapped to accept such an accessory but adaptation of other beds may be practical. The slotted link is bolted to the rear face of the cross-slide, thus the whole of the boring table area is free for use at all times. Once the attachment has been fitted to the lathe, it is left permanently in situ, and the lathe can be made ready for taper turning in a very short space of time. All that is needed is to release the cross-slide feed screw, bring the top slide into a suitable cutting position, clamp the slotted link to the guide bar and the setting up is now complete. Accurate tapers, as required for say Morse Taper tooling, demand the exact position of the guide bar to be established. A revised precision setting micrometer, that enables quick, extremely accurate angular settings is detailed in the drawings. The kit includes LM 25 Aluminium castings for the main bracket and slotted link and a phosphor bronze casting for the slide. You will need facilities to mill the 12 long main bracket. All steel parts, including precision ground flats are provided, together with fasteners, drawings and instructions. The accessory costs well under half that of a conventional, off-the-shelf product, not having the advantages of this new design. HK 1320 160.50

Graduating Tool
For 'engraving' scales or indices on dials and faces held in the lathe or dividing head. The cutting tool, held at centre height in the ground steel ram, is easily stroked backwards and forwards by the handle. The length of line cut is controlled by a 3 position index drum (units, five's and tens). The ram has tool positions at its front and back allowing engraving to be completed either along the axis of the lathe, across it or indeed at any angle. The kit includes steel, precision bushes, fasteners, spring, HSS tool, drawing and instructions. HK1210 28.80

Spotting Tool
Perfect for accurately marking out work held in the lathe chuck. Fit the Spotting Tool into your tool holder and bring it up to the work. Crank the handle and the centre drill will 'spot' the work with a precise centre - ready for drilling. Index the lathe mandrel and repeat the process to accurately mark out backplates, cylinder covers etc. Suits any lathe from 3" centre height upwards.

George Thomas' classic Scribing Block incorporates what must be the ultimate mechanism for this application; ensuring that the scriber arm can be smoothly set without fear of any subsequent movement. The kit arrives with our latest drawings and build notes, together with all necessary material for both items and 4 spare scriber points. You'll need a tap for 5/32x 40tpi (SP 1026) and a trusted 6 ruler. HK 1830 17.90

Radford's criticism of the Myford item includes its poor level of support for the tool, the rigidity of its round base, the locking bolts that distort the gib strip setting and the difficulties of getting the tool to clear the tailstock when turning between centres. The Improved Topslide will accept all of your existing toolpost fixtures including Dickson QC systems and indexing 4 tool turrets. For set-over screw cutting and taper work it is a simple matter to replace this item with the standard Myford offering. Our kit includes the 2 main iron castings and all other material, drawings and construction notes. The Improved Topslide makes use of the existing Myford feed screw, micrometer dial, handle and nut so your progress in completing the kit should be fairly quick. You'll need a 60 dovetail cutter (SP 1001). HK 1730 79.40

Grinding Spindle
This Grinding Spindle employ disc-spring loaded races to take up all bearing clearance whilst providing for thermal expansion as the spindle warms up. Maximum speed for the grinding spindle is 20,000 rpm in grease or 25,000 rpm in oil which provides for the smallest of bore grinding applications. The designer's application was for a 4" wheel running at 4,800 rpm and the pulleys and arbors are based on this. The kit includes all necessary steel for the spindle together with "magneto style" angular contact bearings, discsprings, lipped oil seals, drawings and construction notes. The pulleys are designed to accept 5mm Bond-a-Band belting which can be ordered separately (SP 1010). HK1420 74.40

A sharp, common-or-garden H7 class reamer will cut a 1/4" hole to a diameter of 0.02500" to 0.2506" with a near-ground finish and of near-perfect concentricity and parallelism. But here's the rub (pun intended!).... unless your lathe's tailstock is aligned to the lathe's major axis within somewhat less than 0.0002", it cannot create that elegant hole. An almost immeasurable offset and/or angular mismatch can leave the hole oversized, barrelled, oval and scarred. The answer has been known for over 100 years. Floating Reamer Holders are essential equipment on even the world's most carefully set machine tools, including CNC stations costing considerably more than the average house. For one reason or another however, they are not generally found in the small workshop? The design provided here is both elegant and sound; producing that ideal reamed hole from a tailstock barrel offset by up to 0.015" and angularly mis-aligned by up to 5. The reamer will track the bored hole, removing just those vital slivers of material. The kit includes plans and comprehensive construction notes together with all necessary material to complete holder but not the MT sleeves. The 1" MT sleeves, available separately, are traditionally used on capstan and auto lathes to hold Morse taper tooling. They are ground all over and hardened with only a thin case that can be machined away to suit our Floating Reamer Holder.

This kit consists of 2 adaptor plates and a heavy duty tailstock to bring the centre height up to 3 1/16. This provides a robust system for using the VDH on the milling machine. The adaptor plates are 5" wide by 4 1/2 long and can be tenonned to the T slots of any milling table to ensure repeatable, parallel set-ups. This kit is also a suitable addition for the Westbury Dividing Attachment (HK2130). HK1530 53.40 HK 1540 VDH Swivel Base Kit With the VDH mounted upon a Swivel Base, angular machining can readily be completed, such as making dovetail cutters and cutting bevel gears. Designed By Mr. L Downs this kit does include drawings and notes together with an iron casting and all materials. HK1540 43.20
HK213X
The Westbury Dividing Head (WDH) can be likened to a scale Myford Dividing Head but complete with a raising block and 360 swivelling base. Using the overarm steady, the attachment will accept jobs up to a diameter of 3. If you require more than this, you can also order the Versatile Dividing Head Milling Kit (HK 1530) to provide a separate tailstock and adaptor plates to accept jobs of up to 6 1/8. The WDH spindle arrangement is particularly well conceived. The components form a separate cartridge which can be quickly released and reversed in the main housing for axial and radial work on the lathe. Similarly, the banjo assembly supporting the direct or indirect indexing components can be re-positioned easily to suit the job in hand. Using just the direct indexing facility (HK 2130), the attachment accepts Myford 5/8 bore change wheels with 1/8 keyways. If you happen to have a standard set of these you'll be able to index a huge number of variations. If you can only rustle up a 50t and 60t gear you can still manage to index 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50 and 60 divisions enough to suit virtually any application short of gear cutting. Then, by adding the indirect indexing components (HK 2135), there are no limitations to the number of divisions that can be struck. Whilst suitable for any lathe or mill we have designed in a number of features which Myford lathe owners will appreciate: The mounting holes are spaced to suit the Myford cross and vertical slides. Mounted on the cross slide, the centre heights (3) are a perfect match. The spindle is detailed the Myford 1 1/8 thread and pilot and a MT2 taper so will accept your chucks, faceplates, collets and arbors without adaptors.

Set-over Centre
The turning of tapers is one of the more important lathe processes undertaken in the workshop. For those who have much of this work to do on a repetitive basis, the expense of a taper turning attachment, such as Hemingways HK 1320, will be justified. In default, long tapers can be machined by setting over the tailstock and supporting the work on centres during the turning operation. There is an understandable reluctance to disturb the tailstock setting once it has been set to turn work perfectly parallel. However, the tailstock itself need not be set-over if this adjustable centre is employed. The kit contains material, drawings and instructions including formulae for calculating the required off-set.

Centering Microscope
The Centering Microscope is used for precisely and repeatably setting work on the milling machine, lathe or drill. Through the eyepiece on the horizontal shaft you will see an inverted image of your job magnified X20 at a focal length of about 1 from the lower objective lens. The field of view of around 5mm is calibrated through a high contrast, chrome on glass graticule pattern of crosshairs and concentric circles which can be adjusted to within 0.001/0.03mm of the absolute centre of your machine's spindle. A sniper scope for the workshop! Mill and Drill - We all struggle to locate edges, centres, contours, and layout lines to any real level of confidence. The Centering Microscope allows you to place a drill or milling cutter exactly where you intend, every time; no need for a centre punch, a wiggler, Engineer's buttons or cigarette papers!
Lathe - Setting work to run true on the faceplate can also be completed without fuss or doubt using the Centering Microscope from the lathe's tailstock. Looking from either the tailstock or headstock you'll also find that not only can you now confidently set your tools at centre height, you'll get a great view of a tool's tip condition and profile as well. The kit comes with detailed construction notes, drawings projected from a 3D solid model and all necessary material including eyepiece, objective lens, silvered prism, graticule, fasteners and aluminium bar and tube.

The current design has been vetted by Professor Dr.-Ing. Jrg Hugel of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich, who calculates that it is capable of grinding the "perfect drill". The kit includes 6 iron and 1 gunmetal casting together with all necessary bar materials and fasteners. The drawings which now accompany the kit are of a much higher standard than previously available and have taken many, many hours to prepare. Included in the design are a couple of interesting modifications proposed by Duplex in 1951 to improve repeatability. Construction notes unfortunately are not available and, owing to the complexity of the angles involved, this may not be a project for the beginner to tackle. HK1311 62.75
