Book SynopsisSharpening workshop tools is probably the most diverse of all workshop activities and the one that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This is not unreasonable in view of the wide range of equipment suggested for the task, ranging from the complex, typically an industrial tool and cutter grinder, through to the humble off hand grinder. This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories, whilst doing this to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment. A lack of understanding of the processes almost certainly results in the workshop owner attempting tasks with far from perfect cutting tools that can diminish the satisfaction of a job well done. With the information in this book this situation can be avoided and working with blunt tooling should be a thing of the past.Table of ContentsSharpening - An Introduction. Drill Sharpening.

Book SynopsisThe author is a somewhat frustrated ‘weekend engineer’ with a small lathe and an old manual milling machine in his garage, whose day job doesn’t reflect his passion for making mechanical things. A chance discussion with a colleague culminated in him ordering a brand-new CNC (Computerised Numerical Control) mill from the USA. The machine is a Tormach® 770MX, a model aimed unashamedly at the high end of the hobbyist market, and certainly attracting the attention of small independent manufacturing ‘start-ups’, particularly in the United States. This book records his journey of getting to grips with assembling all the components and learning how to operate the machine. It is purposely not an instruction manual – the manufacturer has already seen to that need. It is more a chronological log of all processes from choosing the right machine through to getting it to make parts. Taking the not insignificant leap from manual machining to CNC manufacturing, in the domestic environment, is a steep learning curve and this book is intended to assist, with many top tips gleaned from ‘learning the hard way’, shared throughout. There are other excellent books out there, some mainly theoretical references, some siding with historical interest. The author envisaged a need for something more practical and hands-on. When he began his project, he couldn’t find a book like this.

Book SynopsisMathematically rigorous, computationally fast, and easy to use, this new approach to electromagnetic well logging gives the reservoir engineer a new dimension to MWD/LWD interpretation and tool design Almost all publications on borehole electromagnetics deal with idealizations that are not acceptable physically. On the other hand, exact models are only available through detailed finite element or finite difference analysis, and more often than not, simply describe case studies for special applications. In either case, the models are not available for general use and the value of the publications is questionable. This new approach provides a rigorous, fully three-dimensional solution to the general problem, developed over almost two decades by a researcher familiar with practical applications and mathematical modeling. Completely validated against exact solutions and physics-based checks through over a hundred documented examples, the self-contained model (with sTable of ContentsPreface xv Acknowledgements xxi 1 Motivating Ideas – General Formulation and Results 1 1.1 Overview 1 1.2 Introduction 2 1.3 Physical Model and Numerical Formulation 4 1.4 Validation Methodology 13 1.5 Practical Applications 16 1.6 Closing Remarks 34 1.7 References 35 2 Detailed Theory and Numerical Analysis 37 2.1 Overview 37 2.2 Introduction 40 2.3 Preliminary Mathematical Considerations 47 2.4 Boundary Value Problem Formulation 58 2.5 Computational Issues and Strategies 66 2.6 Typical Simulation Results 80 2.7 Post-Processing and Applications 112 2.8 Restrictions with Fast Multi-frequency Methods 126 2.9 Receiver Design Philosophy 128 2.10 Description of Output Files 131 2.11 Apparent Resistivity Using Classic Dipole Solution 138 2.12 Coordinate Conventions for Mud and Invasion Modeling 139 2.13 Generalized Fourier Integral for Transient Sounding 140 2.14 References 141 3 Validations – Qualitative Benchmarks 142 3.1 Overview 142 3.2 Introductory Problems 148 3.3 Advanced Problems 245 3.4 Sign Conventions and Validation Methodology 277 3.5 References 279 4 Validations – Quantitative Benchmarks at 0° and 90° 280 4.1 Overview 280 4.2 Wireline Validations in Homogeneous Media 281 4.3 Wireline Validations in Two-Layer Inhomogeneous Media 304 4.4 Electric and Magnetic Field Sensitive Volume Analysis for Resistivity and NMR Applications 328 4.5 MWD “Steel Collar” and Wireline Computations in Homogeneous and Nonuniform Layered Dipping Media 340 4.6 Exact Drill Collar Validation Using Shen Analytical Solution 347 4.7 Dipole Interpolation Formula Validation in Farfield 349 4.8 Magnetic Dipole Validation in Two-Layer Formation 352 4.9 References 355 5 Quantitative Benchmarks at Deviated Angles 356 5.1 Overview 356 5.2 Limit 1.

Book SynopsisFlint was a vitally important resource for prehistoric societies who put it to a diverse range of uses. Chris Butler has created a concise guide to recognising and categorising British prehistoric flintwork. The author begins by looking at the different sources of flint that were exploited by prehistoric peoples, and explains why flint was such a widely used raw material. He then discusses how to recognise prehistoric worked flint and explores the different technologies that were used to work flint and make tools.Flintknapping techniques used in each period of prehistory are illustrated, along with detailed techniques used in each period of prehistory are illustrated, along with detailed descriptions of the variety of implements produced and their associated diagnostic waste material. The flintwork from a number of case-study sites and the eventual decline in the importance of flint. The book also explores what the analysis of flintwork can tell us a
