What’s in a Hemingway Kit?
Check the descriptions offered in our catalogue. In general, we aim to supply everything you will need to complete a
given project. You simply add your time, experience and ingenuity!
Materials
Our suppliers have been chosen on a basis of quality first.
Castings
Patterns are plated in sets and all box work and core placing is manual. Casting are hand poured into green sand
from a shot flask. After fettling, all of the iron and many of the alloy castings are shot or bead blasted to improve
their appearance. Both of our current suppliers have been trading in the UK Midlands for around 130 years. Unlike
pouring engine blocks at 1,000 a day, occasional defects do occur. These are generally spotted at the foundry or by
Hemingway but…. Please check your castings closely before you invest in their machining. Do get in touch if you
have any concerns. A level of surface defect is unavoidable but should not encroach on a major datum.
Bar Stock
Hemingway Kits holds around 4 tonnes of various bar materials. We stock around 40 sections of steel, continuous
cast iron, brass and phosphor bronze ranging from 1/8” diameter to 6 ¼” x 1 ½” flats. A majority of our steel is
sourced through British Steel (Corus). We always favour free cutting grades. Some of our kits, such as Mr Thomas’
Versatile Dividing Head, can have a cutting list running into 25 different sections and lengths of Bright Drawn,
Pre-ground and Silver steel, together with Brass and Bronze sections. Please, when your kit arrives, check through
the drawings and plan your use of material. It is not only the profit motive that causes us to limit lengths, we are also
conscious that it will be inefficient for customers to have to machine or saw off large amounts of material to arrive at
a finished dimension.
Fasteners
A majority of the kits call for imperial fasteners, ranging from 8BA to 3/8” Whitworth. For this reason we only stock
these imperial fasteners and a few metric sizes. Sitting here in Britain, this seems reasonable; we have all built up a
stock of taps and dies that support this outlook. However, sitting in France or America, our position will not seem
reasonable! Doubtless you will want to translate imperial threads into Course and Fine Metric, UNC and UNF and
this will not affect the success of your project. We have established a great UK source for fasteners and hold over 60
different varieties of head, threads and lengths.
Gears
The worm and worm wheel pairs required to complete the dividing tools and rotary tables are intended by the
designers to be generated as helicals to a pressure angle of 14 ½º. They require dedicated assets and, with low
volume runs, may seem unusually expensive. On the positive side however, the quality of UK source is indeed first
class. If, for whatever reason, you manage to scrap a gear cut item, Hemingway will show a degree of mercy in
pricing a replacement for you. To err is human….
CNC Sheet Material
The Worden Mk 3 Tool and Cutter Grinder is a truly great product, made economically possible through the flexibility
of CNC processing. The gauge of the pressings is around 1/8”, affording excellent rigidity in action. Having large
dedicated pressings on your bench may well be a novelty. Please remember that many of industry’s worst hand
injuries come from handling unprepared sheet materials! Wear gloves and file off sharp edges as a very first step. If
you rely on off hand tool grinding today, you should consider the Worden.
Other Stock Items
To complete your kit, we hold a number of stock items including bearings, bushes, seals, ‘O’ rings, springs, drive
belts, grinding wheels, switch gear, motors, knurls etc. Wherever practical, we source directly from well-established,
UK manufacturers.
Drawing & Instructions
Many believe that the heart of a successful project is to ensure that you are continually thinking 2 or 3 stages ahead.
The instructions detailed by most designers will help you to understand the importance of each set up and where it
fits within the total plan. Many instructions include photos, which are invaluable for describing a required
operation.
Over the past few months, we have been trawling through and updating a number of our drawing and instruction
sets. In many cases they were felt to be below acceptable standards for the 21st century and in others, they lacked
the clarity that was necessary to get across the designer's idea. After much deliberation and training, Hemingway
has installed and commissioned AutoDesk Inventor Professional 8, a high spec, solid model CAD package, to take
their drawings and instruction sets to a new level. Armed also with an HP 5SiX high speed A3 duplex laser printer,
documentation in the future will be printed freshly for each customer, rather than copied from masters. Not only will
this bring crisper images but it will ensure that the very latest print versions are offered. The project is now virtually
complete with drawings for over 60 of our kits now derived from CAD solid models. We think you will really
appreciate the difference!
For the items designed by Mr GH Thomas, we have decided that his 2 books provide all of the necessary
details of his designs. Accordingly, these kits will arrive without loose drawings and instructions.
If you haven’t yet bought these excellent books, you can order them from our catalogue.
What equipment do I need?
Our customer’s fall between owning a flat belted lathe from the 20’s to a full CNC workshop. We have attempted below
to show the base level of equipment required to complete our kits. As in all things, one finds that quality counts and he
with the most toys, wins!
Major Assets
For a majority of our kits, the necessary assets are limited to:
A centre lathe with at least 3 ½”cetre height (7” swing) and 13” between centres. A screw cutting train is essential for
some kits.
A drill press of at least ½” capacity (probably > ½ hp)
A vertical slide. Most of the designs were conceived in the days before low cost vertical milling machines and assume
you will work from a vertical slide, bolted to the cross slide. If you have a miller in your workshop, your progress will be
at a much faster pace. Indeed a few of the kits, such as the Large Boring Head and the Machin Screw Cutting Gearbox,
do require a miller. If you have managed to marry a doting heiress, tell her you’ll need, at the very least, 1 hp, 14” of X
travel and a bottom speed of 50 rpm!
Many, but not all of our kits are bias towards Myford Series 7 lathe owners. However a majority of the designs can be
readily adapted to suit other equipment including Southbend, Hardinge, Boxford and Far Eastern imports. If
you are contemplating adapting one of the designs, please write to us with your thoughts and questions. We are usually
happy to sell a set of drawings and instruction on the understanding that this cost will rebated against your ultimate
purchase of the relevant kit. Indeed, if your adaptation is for another popular lathe, we’d be delighted to find out what
was involved so that we can pass it on!
Other Workshop Basics
Whilst you will be creating some of the most valuable attachment in the world, there are still a number of standard
items that you will require to complete most kits. Leaving aside the 6” ruler, scriber and vice, you’ll probably need to
have:
External Micrometers and an Internal/External Vernier
The best you can afford or find. You should be able to determine down to 0.00025” for dimensions under an inch
and 0.001” above an inch.
DTI & DGI with Stand(s)
Again highest quality pays. Try for a Dial Gauge Indicator with at least ¼” of travel and resolution of 0.0005”. Go to
town on a Dial Test Indicator; ours has a total travel of 0.009”and resolves to 0.00005”. Stands can be bought or
made and, whilst they need a truly flat base, other features are not so critical. Our opinion only here but we find a
magnetic stand with a solid post to be infinitely more believable than the ones with a flexible or “snake” shaft.
Face Plate (7” min.), 3-Jaw (4” min.) and 4-Jaw (6” min.) Chucks
Good old brands undoubtedly feel better but Polish and Czech ones are built and inspected just the same. Regularly
check the run-out of your 3-jaw. If your 3-jaw is backplate mounted, consider our Adjustable Backplate kit.
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 iron
table are equally good. 10” x 12” should do it.
Taps, Dies, Reamers & Drills
You’ll need taper taps for BA (8,6,4 & 2), BSF (1/4, 5/16 & 3/8), BSW (5/16 & 3/8) and an ME tap and die for
¼” x 40tpi. You’ll need split ring dies for the larger sizes only (2BA to 3/8” BSW). If you’re bias towards Metric
and UNF/UNC, its fine to substitute these in place of the imperial ones. Buy Number drills or Metric equivalents
to support all of you taps. If you can beg or steal a set of spiral reamers from 1/8” to ½” by 16ths, many of the fine
boring exercises will disappear.

HK1010 “Dore” Small Hole Boring Tools
Inherently centered from the topslide, these tools allow
boring to be started from just a 1/4" drilled hole. Tension,
induced by the pushrod, makes even the smallest tool
surprisingly rigid.
There are two boring bars of each size, 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8"
diameter. One bar for boring/facing the other for internal
screw cutting/recessing. Kit includes 3 iron casting for the
tool blocks, steel, fasteners, HSS drill blanks, long series
drill (needed to machine the boring bars) drawings and full
instructions.
Whilst the castings and design have be developed for Myford 7 Series lathes, captive raising blocks or Quick-
Change geometry would make these tools suitable for virtually all lathes.
HK1020 “Tidy” Between Centres Boring Bar
These three Boring Bars (1/2", 3/4" and 1" dia.) will meet
the needs of most small engineering workshops.
Each bar has a dedicated micrometer, which can be
accurately positioned over the end of the cutting tool to
allow precise measurement and advancement by 0.001”
increments. Supplied as a kit of easily machined parts
including FCMS bar, phosphor bronze micrometer
castings, steel for the carriers, HSS cutting tools, drawing
and instructions.
HK1690 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 less than Ø2mm, this
top speed is simply not adequate.
These smaller cutters are stock-in-trade for the clock
maker and repairer for profiling, crossing out wheels and
engraving especially in brass. At best, running these small
cutters at low speeds will mean painfully slow feed rates.
At worst, an otherwise perfect job is spoiled by irregular
cutter performance.
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 machine tool
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.

Rear Tool Post HK1070
Designed by Mr. G.H. Thomas and described in the M.E.
March 1976.
The virtues of parting-off from the rear of the cross-slide
need hardly be mentioned. The casting (suitable for the
Super 7 and ML7 lathes) bolts to the boring table and
supports a steel turret holding two parting-off blades
(1/16" and 3/32" wide), which only require grinding on the
end to sharpen.
The alternative “Riley” turret (pictured), accepts one
parting-off blade (for max. Ø2” bar) and one standard
lathe tool (max. ½” square) that can be precisely indexed
in seconds. Very useful for chamfering, form tool work etc.
A drawing is included for this variation.
The kit includes casting, fasteners and springs, together
with all steel required for both the GHT and Riley turrets.
Seriously, if you haven't got a rear tool post buy one today;
you will thank us!
Larger Rear Tool Post HK1071
One of George Thomas' simplest and most elegant
designs, the Rear Tool Post, with its indexing turret, has
become a vital addition to all Myford lathes for the past 30
years. And now, Hemingway is pleased to announce a new
version, based on the work of both G H Thomas and E
Riley.
Suitable for lathes with up to 3 ½" between the cross slide
and centre, the kit includes the main casting and all
material to complete a substantial Rear Tool Post for your
Boxford, South Bend, Atlas, Chester, Harrison, Myford
254, Colchester, Warco, Grizzly…. plus many more. The
Rear Tool Post is designed to engage with either a single T
slot or a pair of tapped holes towards the rear of your cross
slide. The turret is designed to accept a 3/32" wide x ½"
deep parting blade and an additional inverted tool up to
½" square.

HK1090 Gibraltar Tool Post
Designed by Tubal Cain, who spent a lifetime in the
engineering industry and was well known for his contribu-
tions to the Model Engineer.
This is a substantial, no-nonsense tool post fitting directly
onto the boring tables of the Myford Series 7 lathes, and is
very suitable for taking heavy cuts or when working with
an overhung tool. It can accept industrial HSS and
Carbide Insert tools up to ¾”, a feature that affords
additional rigidity and economy.
We supply one iron casting suitable for the above lathes,
plus the screws to complete the kit. A drawing and
working instructions are included.
HK1330 Hand Turning Rest
Designed by Mr. G.H. Thomas and described in the M.E.
February 1977.
It is often preferable to use a hand turning rest, if only to
finish a component. Thus the change from using the
compound slide to a hand rest should be quick and
efficient. In this design the one handle serves not only to
lock the casting to the Myford Series 7 lathe bed but also
to lock the tool rest. The complete rest can be fitted or
removed from the lathe in a matter of seconds.
Three castings are supplied, the lower or base casting in
LM 25 aluminium, so as not to mark the lathe bed, the
other two in cast iron. Fasteners, springs and all steel
SP 1000 No. 505 Woodruff Cutter sections are included. All drawings and instructions for
construction and use are contained in Mr. Thomas’ book,
The Model Engineers Workshop Manual.
HK1250 Retracting Tool Holder
Designed by Mr. G.H. Thomas and described in the M.E.
November 1981.
This tool holder readily clamps onto a 4 tool turret or a
Q.C. tool holder. Although proportioned to suit a 3 1/2"
lathe, it performs perfectly well in much larger equipment.
The principal use is for external screw cutting. At the end
of the cut the little ball handle is flicked backwards,
whereupon the tool retracts clear of the thread. It is
unnecessary to wind back the feed handle of either the
cross or top-slides, thus the exact position of the tool is
never lost or forgotten. The feed screw of either the cross
or top-slides is only turned forwards. At the start of the
next cut the little ball handle is pushed forwards and the
tool is positively returned to its former position.
Our kit includes both ground and bright drawn steel sections, fasteners and spring. Full drawings and instruc-
tions are contained in Mr. Thomas’ book, The Model Engineers Workshop Manual. A 60 degree dovetail cutter
will be required to machine the dovetail slides.

Gear & Retracting Top Slide Attachment Myford Super 7 HK1240
Designed by G H Thomas as a modification to the Myford
Super 7 Top Slide, a full kit for this prized attachment is
now available for the first time since 1994! For those who
haven't seen one in action this upgrade provides truly
significant advantages in both productivity and accuracy.
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. Other than for worm threads, a modified Super 7 will now rarely require back gear for precision screw
cutting.
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 and steel, brass, bronze and aluminium sections. In addition, the kit
includes updated solid model CAD drawings and instruction notes; all you need to add is your time and capabili-
ties!
Swing & Retracting Tool Post HK1630
Designed and patented by Kenneth Hart (aka "Martin
Cleeves") in August 1970 and described in his definitive
work, "Screw Cutting in the Lathe". This simple mechanism Engaged
provides retraction for both external and internal thread
cutting together with a unique 'swing' feature, allowing it
to be flipped clear of the job for gauging those final
internal cuts on a bore or thread.
The Hemingway Kits design for this item is suitable for a
number of lathes up to around 5" Centre Height and
importantly, it can swing clear of the fairly tall 7/16" BSF Retracted
tool post of the Myford 7 range . To improve integrity, the
swinging arm is milled from a steel block rather than
fabricated. Extra work perhaps but the rigidity of the
finished item fully justifies this approach.
The kit includes all of the necessary bar materials and
fasteners together with the solid model CAD drawing set
and, for interest, a copy of Mr. Hart's original patent.
Unfortunately construction notes are not yet available for Swung Clear
this project but the work is quite straight forward.

HK1680 The Oxford Collet Chuck - ER20
Double cone collets have some very important features:
! Clamping force relative to axial length is formidable!
Although they are not threaded like Auto-Lok collets,
analysis and 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 Ø6-7mm collet merrily holds Ø1/4"
(Ø6.35mm) 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 Ø0.5mm to Ø13mm with 13 collets. A full set allows every drill, end mill, tap, arbor or work piece
from No.76 to Ø1/2" 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 Ø8mm) held on their flutes can be accommodated with only a stub length
protruding, making the need for centre drilling obsolete.
Where daylight is limited, the Oxford chuck can really increase the scope of your equipment. The collet nose
stands out just 60mm (2 5/16") from the spindle compared with 87mm for a standard ½" drill chuck.
The Oxford chuck is equally adept at work holding and tool holding. Another not-so-obvious application is “work
support”. With the chuck mounted in your lathe's tailstock you can oil a collet and close it to lightly touch work
held in the headstock, giving close support to slender jobs without the fun of setting up your fixed steady.

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 6½” centre-height.

Small Boring Head (Piston Type) HK1040
Dr J. Beddard considered miniaturising the late George
Thomas' design, but in the interests of simplicity and
economy it was decided to start from scratch. A new head
was designed which offers several advantages; it is small,
easy and cheap to construct, requiring no expensive
dovetail cutter in the manufacture. Detachable shanks can
be made to suit other machine tools. The standard 1/2"
shank will fit the Quickstep Mill, a collet chuck, a 1/2" R8
collet and a 1/2" end mill holder. It may even be threaded
3/8"x20tpi if required, to fit a Clarkson Autolock Chuck.
The design may also be enlarged or miniaturised to suit
personal requirements.
The head was designed to cope with small work, such as
the boring of small holes, but its capacity ranges from
holes of 3/16" diameter up to about one inch. The tool
position is designed to accept either a 1/4" boring bar with
an inserted cutter, or George Thomas's small boring tools,
made from 1/4" diameter silver steel.
Large Boring Head (Piston Type) HK1050
Designed by Dr J. Beddard. A substantial boring head that
is capable of boring and facing up to 6" nominal diameter.
Based on a robust, well balanced phosphor bronze
casting, with piston slide adjustment and positive locking,
this new boring head is ideal for use on the milling
machine. Indeed a milling machine is required for its
construction. The tool will also swing over the bed of
Myford 3 1/2" centre lathes.
This well presented kit includes the substantial Phosphor
Bronze casting, together with other materials to com-
plete.

HK1160 Spherical Turning Tool
Makes turning ball handles a genuine pleasure. This type
of accessory was favoured by both Mr G. H. Thomas and
Mr J. A. Radford. The current design is of “all steel”
construction, with porous bronze bushes and thrust
washers supporting a ground main shaft. This tool will cut
radii, spheres and hollows from nothing to around Ø2".
Suitable for use on lathes from 3" to 6" centre heights. Kit
includes steel, bushes, fasteners, 1/4" dia. tool, drawing

HK 1120 & HK 1121 Tailstock Die Holder
An ingenious design from Mr. J. C. Payne, patent holder
for the Quick-Step Mill.
What is unusual here is that the Die Holder is prevented
from rotating by an adjustable double cone clutch, similar
in action to a car’s synchroniser. Moving the handle either
side of its mid position causes the clutch to engage. Relax
pressure on the handle and the Die Holder will again
rotate and thus the die stops cutting. Very useful when
screwing up to a shoulder. This tool will hold all common
die diameters (1 5/16", 1", 13/16" and 5/8")

Taper Turning Attachment Mk2 HK1320
With a nominal 10" (250mm) working length, the Taper
Turning Attachment Mk2 is conventional in so much as
the design follows accepted practice. It does, however,
have some design features which we believe have not
been generally available. 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 of the cross-slide.
Please note that this link does not stand proud of the
cross-slide surface in any way, 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 using the ball handle and, apart from
placing a suitable tool in the tool post, setting up is now complete.
For general taper work the guide bar is easily adjusted by a fine pitch screw. 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. 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.
“Archibald” Quick Change Tool Holder HK 1100

HK1230 Keyway Slotting Attachment
Our latest design gives a more easily and quickly con-
structed accessory without loosing any rigidity. A sturdy
aluminium casting (doesn't mark your boring table) fitted
with substantial porous bronze bushes now accepts a
ground steel ram carrying the cutting tool. The casting is
fixed to the boring table using 2 bolts in a common tee
slot. Angular setting is by protractor, a sliding dowel
quickly returns the ram to the parallel position.
While the main casting is suitable for ML7 and Super 7
lathes, it is substantial enough to allow machining down
to suit ML10 lathes. The kit includes 2 aluminium castings, steel, bushes, tools, fasteners, drawings and full
instructions.
HK 1232 - For larger lathes, including the Myford 254, an aluminium raising block is offered to provide a
maximum height from base to ram centre of 3 3/8”.
HK1210 Graduating Tool
For 'engraving' scales, indices etc. The cutting tool, held on
centre height in the ground steel ram, is easily stroked
backwards and forwards by the handle. Length of line is
controlled by a 3 position index drum (units, five's and
tens).
Engraving can be done either left to right or right to left on
work set at any angle.
This tool has been redesigned. Dovetail slides have been
replaced by a ground steel ram running in porous bronze
bushes. A direct acting handle gives a more rapid action
and much improved 'feel'. Kit includes steel, bearings,
fasteners, spring, HSS tool, drawing and instructions.
HK1220 “Spotting” Tool
Perfect for accurately marking out work held in the lathe
chuck. Fit the Spotting Tool into your tool holder and bring

Improved Topslide - Myford Super 7 HK1730
Finally a kit to build J A Radford’s Improved Topslide for the

design despite Radford’s assertion that:
“…of all of the fixtures I have made for the Myford lathe,
none has given me more satisfaction than this new
topslide. The improvement in finish, accuracy and weight
of cut that is possible has to be seen to be believed.”
Radford’s criticism of the Myford item includes its poor
level of support for the tool, the rigidity of its round base,
together with the square tightening bolts that distort the
gib strip setting and the difficulties of getting the tool to
clear the tailstock when turning between centres.
Our kit includes the 2 main castings and all other material,
drawings and instruction to complete. The Improved
Topslide makes use of the existing Myford feed screw,
micrometer dial, handle and nut so progress in building
the kit will be a lot faster than one might imagine.

HK150X Versatile Dividing Head
Designed by Mr. G. H. Thomas and described in the M.E.
March 1979. All drawings and instructions are included
in Mr. Thomas’ book, Workshop Techniques.
Commercial dividing heads often find disfavour among
Model Engineers, because they do not always fulfill the
varied needs of the smaller workshops.
In this design, consideration has been given not only to
the wide range of possible uses of the Versatile Dividing
Head but also to the simplification of construction. In this
context it may be mentioned that this dividing head
generates its own division plates to a very high order of
accuracy.
The dimensions are such that all components are machin-
able on a lathe of minimum 3 ½” centre height, In use it
will be mounted principally on the cross slide or vertical
slide.
Simple Dividing is by means of a spring loaded plunger
engaging any of the 24 holes in the face of the main wheel.
Squares, hexagons, keyway cutting and tap fluting will
probably be done by this method. Conventional Dividing is
by means of the usual worm and division plate, which now
replaces the spring loaded plunger. Both this and the
plunger are mounted on a banjo which can be swung
around the main casting to the most convenient operating
position. The two division plates will allow most divisions
used, including angular spacing, to be obtained.
Prime numbers or indeed any possible division outside the range of the two plates are indexed by means of the
“Micro-Attachment” giving capabilities down to 1/100th of a degree! Thus a second worm and wheel are
attached under the division plate, allowing calculated manual rotation of the division plate, by means of the
calibrated knob at the end of the worm shaft. This rotation or correction is done at each step of the dividing.
HK 1500 - The Full Kit, contains all material necessary to complete the Versatile Dividing Head, including 2 iron
castings, 2 worms, 2 worm wheels, 3 division plate blanks, 33 fasteners, 3 springs, 2 stub drills and 20 different
sections of FCMS, PGMS, Brass and Silver Steel Bar.
HK 1501 - The Basic Kit, contains the material necessary to build the VDH to index solely from the 24 holes that
are pre-drilled in the main wheel.
HK 1502 – The Basic to Full Upgrade Kit, contains the additional material to convert the Basic VDH to the Full
VDH.
HK 1510 - 4” Diameter aluminium face plate casting for the VDH spindle is available to assist drilling the
division plate blanks.
HK 1505 - Essential items, castings (2), gears (2), worms (2), division plate blanks (3), springs and stub drills.
This kit is more suitable for export, where the cost of shipping bar material can out-weigh the actual cost of the
material!
HK 1232 - For fitment to the cross slide of larger lathes, including the Myford 254, an aluminium raising block
is offered to provide a maximum base to centre height of 3 3/8”.

tion and use are contained in Mr. Thomas’ book,
Workshop Techniques.
The attachment uses the lathe mandrel "bull wheel" for
indexing, for which we supply a suitable worm. Taking
approximately one minute to fix to the lathe, this attach-
ment has proved to be of great interest to both amateur

HK117X Adjustable Back Plate
Self-centering chucks rarely run 'spot on'. Commercial
chucks do exist, which feature inbuilt adjustment to
correct for radial run out. Our solution to the problem of
run out is by means of an adjustable backplate, which uses
your existing chuck backplate and an intermediate,

Small Diameter Turning Tool HK1560
A simple casting bolts to Myford Series 7 saddle, allowing long turning of small diameter work. Drawings by

“Tidy” Cross Drilling Jig HK1410
Precise cross drilling remains a hallmark of fine work. This
versatile jig is simple to construct and offers many inherent
advantages. It is intended to be machined directly on the
topslide of a Myford Series 7 lathe, guaranteeing accurate
location of the guide bush to the “V" groove. The "V"
groove is produced by successive cuts with end mills of
reducing diameter, to give a stepped "V". Shafts from 1/8"
to 1" diameter can be securely accommodated.
The jig can be used on the drill press or milling table of
course, but use in the lathe allows angular cross drilling
and makes an excellent work holder for milling keyways
etc. A simple methodology is explained for simulta-
neously drilling shafts and collars. We invite you to kiss goodbye to off-centre embarrassments.
Offered as a kit consisting of an iron casting, steel, fasteners, drawing and instructions.
Rotary Table HK1180
Designed by Mr. G.H. Thomas and described in the M.E.
March 1976.
Most model engineers only require a Rotary Table to
quickly and efficiently round the ends of coupling rods
and similar components. Worm gearing is not required,
being too slow in operation. Positive stops are, however,
vital to prevent the cutter exceeding its intended limits.
Consequently, this design offers a small compact Rotary
Table of 3 3/4" diameter, having substantial bearings.
Positive stops are provided to limit angular movement. The
dimensions of the cast iron base enable easy mounting
onto the lathe vertical-slide.
Our kit includes the base casting, close grained extruded
iron for the table, nut and pivot and all fasteners. Drawings and instructions are provided in Mr Thomas’ book The

2-Jaw Independent Chuck Ø5" HK1650
These chucks were once offered by both Pratt Burnerd and
Alfred Herbert and were very popular in the world of pipe
fittings, enabling awkward shapes to be held and the set-
up repeated whenever required.
Although the faceplate is a very flexible system for holding
work to the lathe, setting a job square can be problematic.
Consider the 2 Jaw. In essence, a faceplate with a highly
versatile vice attached. Each jaw is adjusted independ-
ently, allowing irregular or offset work to be accommo-
dated securely. Unlike the 3 and 4-jaw chuck, any number
of special jaw plates can be made from the suggested jig,
to allow virtually any shape to be accepted. The designer
even mentions melting polypropylene jaw plates around a
complex boiler part!
Whilst the drawings include details for a Myford Series 7 adaptor, this chuck can be adapted to suit any lathe
above 2 1/2" centre height by turning a shallow register onto your faceplate or catchplate.
The kit comes complete with all necessary materials for the chuck, adaptor, key and your first 2 sets of jaw plates.
Mr. Figes' illustrated instructions come with superb drawings, projected from a 3D solid model CAD assembly,
making them particularly straight forward to read and apply.
You'll need taps for 7/16" x 32 tpi (or M12 "Fine") and, more unusually, a 5/16" BSW for a Left Hand threads. These

will see an inverted image of your job magnified X20 at a
focal length of about 1 ½” from the lower objective lens.
The field of view of around Ø5mm 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 condi-
tion and profile as well.
The kit comes with detailed construction notes, drawings projected from a 3D solid model and all necessary

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
Hemingway’s 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.

shank) to pre-set angles with the absolute minimum of set
up time and fuss. The cutting tips of both end mills and
slot drill (up to Ø5/8" shank size) can also be sharpened
using simple self indexing holders.

The work required to complete this project is straight forward and easily accomplished. Many customers claim
success in 3 weekends or less. The table assembly arrives engraved with 180 divisions; the base, motor plinth and
wheel guard require no more than de-burring and painting. Wiring of the motor and reversing switch is shown in
detail. The machining required can be completed on a lathe of at least 2" centre height and 13" between centres.

HK126X Universal Pillar Tool
The origin of this design lay in the desire to create a
versatile and useful tool, occupying little bench space and
being capable of easy construction using a 3 1/2" centre
lathe. When introduced some years ago as the Tapping
and Staking Tool, so varied were the uses of the tool, that
when the Sensitive Drill was added, a change of title to the
Universal Pillar Tool became essential! Please note that all
drawings and instructions for construction and use are
contained in Mr. Thomas’ book, Workshop Techniques.
HK 1260 – The Basic UPT Kit
The basic kit consists of four iron castings, namely the
Base, 2 Arms and the 6” diameter Table . The base is fixed
to a base board and supports the ground steel column .
This column carries the two arms, which are quite free to
slide up and down or rotate about it. The table will fit
either arm. When tapping a component the table is
located in the lower arm and supports the item to be
tapped. The upper arm then carries the tap holder. If
riveting is desired, then the lower arm carries the stake,
while the upper arm holds the dolly.
The Kit includes the castings, ground steel column and all
steel, brass and fasteners to complete the Universal Pillar Tool and most of its attachments.
HK 1266 – The Rotatable Staking Kit
Staking can be done in a manner similar to riveting, but the Rotatable Stake will no doubt appeal to most users.
15 holes from 3/64” to 3/8” can be quickly indexed from a common PCD. This kit includes the iron casting, 2
blanks for the top plate and all other bar sections required. Ideally, the completed top plate should be hardened
then ground. Great results can be obtained with only simple equipment.
SP 1005 - A 3/8" capacity Jacobs chuck is available to hold taps up to around a ½” thread.
HK 1275 – Clock Bushing Attachment.
We are indebted to Mr James Batchelor for allowing us to make available this design. The lower arm of of the UPT
accepts a jig to hold the clock plate. After centring the appropriate hole in the clock plate, a Bergeon type reamer,
guided in the upper arm, corrects the worn hole. The reamer is then exchanged for a small press which pushes the
bush accurately into position. Kit includes materials for jig, press, reamer holder etc. drawings and instructions

Sensitive Drill Attachment For Universal Pillar Tool HK127X
With the advent of very cheap Far Eastern drill presses, the
new owners of Hemingway had naively contemplated
dropping this attachment from its product range. Such a
lot to learn! This attachment is prized by the small
workshop owner perhaps more that any for its sensitivity
in producing smaller holes (No.80 to around 5/32”).
Larger pillar drills, with worm and wheel downfeed cannot
begin to provide the feedback of the Sensitive Drill
attachment.
The picture shows a simple indexing attachment devel-
oped by Dr. L.J. Taylor. All drawings and instructions for
construction and use of the Sensitive Drill Attachment are
contained in Mr. Thomas’ book, Workshop Techniques.
HK 1270 - This is the full Sensitive Drill Kit, complete
with the drill head casting and all bearings, spring,
belting, steel and brass. It slips easily onto the column
and can be driven by a 1,450 rpm. motor of minimum
1/12 hp. Since many of us seem to have at least one
suitable motor that has been sitting on a shelf for many
years, Hemingway has decided not to supply these
motors. We can suggest suppliers if necessary.
SP 1004 - A 5/32" (4mm) Jacobs chuck is offered
separately. The designer envisaged this to be the ideal
chuck for the Sensitive Drilling Attachment.
HK 1268 – The Alloy Foot Kit. An aluminium casting replaces the iron base, allowing the UPT, complete with
Sensitive Drilling attachment to be rigidly mounted on either the cross slide or, more usefully, the lathe bed.
Mounted on the bed between the headstock and cross slide, the Sensitive Drill can be powered by the
headstock at a variety of speeds. Work placed on the cross slide can then be co-ordinate drilled (or spotted) to
accuracies of 1/1000”. The kit includes the casting and other material to complete the foot and its anchorages.
Spindle Driving Handle - Myford Lathes HK1750
Based on G H Thomas’ design, this driving handle can be
engaged then disengaged in seconds. If you rely on
pulling the chuck key or drive belt when cutting short or
blind threads, removing chucks and collets or running
small taps you’ll know how slow and frustrating this can
be. Keep this tool handy and you'll be amazed how much
use it gets.

HK1900 Saddle Clamp Handle Myford
It is of course 'good practice' on all machine tools to lock all but the slide necessary
to achieve the cut.
You'll be surprised to see how much more frequently you adopt 'good practice'
when you haven't got to go looking for the right spanner to tighten Myford's
standard saddle clamp hex bolt.
Why live with this aggravation? In just 30 minutes you can replace Myford's bolt
with our industry-grade ratchet handle assembly. The handle can be parked in
20 separate positions so will never get in the way of the tailstock.
This kit includes the handle assembly and material to adapt it to Myford's ML10,
ML7 or Super 7 saddle. A single drawing with construction notes is provided.
HK1470 Leadscrew Thrust Bearings – Myford Super 7
Axial slip of the leadscrew is a common cause of thread
inaccuracies. A slight oscillation imparted to the screw will
cause a periodic error in pitch. Georg Schlesinger adopted
a pass-off criteria of half of one ten thousandth of an inch
of slip for the 1920’s German machine tool industry. To
adjust clearance in the right hand bearing of the Myford
Super 7 is a difficult balancing act, generally resulting in
excessive thrust loads.
This modification, carried out on the right hand bearing,
provides two precision needle thrust races to accept the
load when screw cutting. No modification is required to
the leadscrew and there are two additional benefits. The leadscrew hand wheel becomes more certain in its
action and its micrometer scale can now be zeroed. Simple drawing, instructions plus needle races, fastener, steel
and bronze to replace the existing bushes are all included.
HK1450 Slow Speed Drive For Vertical Miller
Many imported vertical millers have a bottom speed of
around 160 r.p.m. - too high for the model engineer's
needs. By re-machining the existing pulleys and using a
Poly V-belt drive, a lower speed of approximately 50 rpm
can be attained without sacrificing the top speed range.
The modification was designed by G. F. Deane and Partner,
consultant engineers, who have a vast knowledge of this
type of drive.

Trent Pinion Mill HK1610
Accurate pinion cutting has always presented a problem
to clockmakers without access to sophisticated machin-
ery. Particularly for the craftsman who requires small
numbers of perhaps widely differing sizes. Now, perhaps
for the first time, a machine is available in kit form to
overcome the problems of pinion cutting for the clock and
instrument maker.
Designed by the late Elliot Isaacs and now reviewed and
developed by Alan Timmins, the Trent Pinion Mill includes
substantial castings and dovetailed work slides to both
ease manufacture and improve accuracy. Basically a
miniature milling machine, the Trent provides maximum
rigidity both in cutter support and work holding. The
pinion or small wheel being cut (up to Ø2") is held in
collets or between centres and is indexed by a notched
brass plate with provision for backlash adjustment.
Pinions can be quickly and accurately cut in even the
toughest materials, with or without coolant.
The design accepts your cutters up to Ø35mm on a
standard Ø7mm bore. Travel in the X, Y and Z planes are
4", 3/8" and 2" respectively. The completed mill weighs
8.5kg (19lbs) and stands 8" tall by 12" wide by 6" deep.
HK 1610 - Trent Pinion Mill Full Kit
The kit includes all necessary materials with the exception
of the motor. Our packing list includes over 70 items
including iron castings for the column, knee and head and
tailstocks, 26 different sections of steel, iron, bronze and
brass, threaded bar for the 2 feed screws, and Ø7mm
polyurethane drive belting. The drawings are profession-
ally compiled on 3D CAD, giving entirely scalable views
and isometrics to help the builder understand the major
features. Alan's build instructions are carefully thought
through, with photos and explanations of the more vital
set-ups and processes.

HK155X Gear Box - Myford Series 7 Lathes
Developed from the Algoa Screw Cutting Gear Box, but

The gearbox is suitable for the Myford 7 Series range and
provides a truly enormous saving over the commercial
item.
Gears; make or buy? All of the 21 gears are designed as
Myford standard 20DP and all except a single 18t gear, can
be adapted from standard 20t – 75t change wheels.
However, Machin gives elegant instruction for making the

with Milling Kit could make light work of this task.
The design retains Myford’s standard change wheel quadrant, allowing metric pitches to be cut in addition to the
significant range of imperial feeds.

Bond-a-Band Belting SP 1010/1011
Bond-a-Band is a polyurethane product having a high
resistance to oils and chemicals generally. It affords a good
grip, excellent wearing properties, low static pick up and
maintains its flexibility at low temperatures. We include
this belting in our Sensitive Drill kit and imagine that many
other uses can be found in an experimental workshop.
The belt is joined by welding. Cut off the belt to length,
less 6% (e.g. if the belt run is 10" then cut 9.4"). Warm a
thin, clean metal strip and touch the ends of the belt onto
this (i.e. each end of the belt on either side of the metal
strip). The correct temperature is 200 deg C.
At this temperature the belt will soften to a 'tacky' consistency. Quickly push the two ends of the belt together and
hold for a few moments until set. Too high a temperature will cause the belt to go into a liquid state, which will
not produce a sound joint. Any flash around the joint should be trimmed away with a sharp knife. The joint will
increase in strength over five days.
We stock two sizes, which are priced per foot:-
SP 1010 - 5mm (0.196") diameter SP 1011 - 7mm (0.275") diameter.

Terms of Business
Making A Purchase
We accept payment by credit card, cheque payable to Hemingway Kits or cash at your risk.
We accept ONLY Visa and MasterCard and some Maestro/Switch cards (NOT the 18 digit ones). We will not charge cards or cash cheques until
your order is ready to ship. You may send your credit card information via phone, fax, post or over the Internet making use of our 128 bit
encryption. If you are shopping from outside the UK, place your order and your credit card company will convert the Pounds Sterling
transaction to your own currency.
Shipping And Handling
UK
We have negotiated a 2-day delivery rate of £8.25 for all UK orders, regardless of weight. This is a great bargain unless you only wanted a
cutter or a book! Please ring us if this is the case and one of us will just have to walk down to the Post Office…
EXPORT
Get in touch as we will need to quote separately. Although shipping costs can often seem prohibitive here are a few tips to lessen the
blow.
Outside of Europe?
All of the prices shown include European VAT at 17½% . If you need us to ship outside of Europe please divide the prices shown by
1.175. “It's an ill wind that blows no good”?
Shipping Rates per Kg
The cost to send a heavy parcel is of course more than to send a light parcel. However, the cost per kg for the heavier parcel can
often be half that of the lighter one. Carriers seem to bias pricing against small parcels. If you are planning to build a number of
our kits, consider ordering them together in order to reduce your total shipping cost.
Essential Items ONLY
Some of our larger kits have an option shown as “Essential Items ONLY”. Our intention here is to provide the lightest possible
parcel for export. These kits exclude stock items that can, with a little searching, be found in your region. Generally this would be
the bar stock, fastener, tools, bearings, springs etc. These kits include only the dedicated items such as castings and gears.
Visiting the UK?
Perhaps you, a friend or a colleague have plans to visit the UK? We have had great success in the past through sending parcels by
courier to UK hotels.

There's also an infinitesimally small chance that YOU will scrap an item?! Please get in touch and you'll find we show as much mercy as possible
in pricing a replacement part for you.
All products are described and shown as accurately as possible. However, customers are given the full benefit, AT ONCE, of any improvements
to designs and specifications..
