features available; Advice on installing and maintaining a lathe,
selecting and sharpening tools, and working with chucks; Instruction
on a range of techniques ranging from how to hold work in a collet
through to cutting a screw thread. A new and practical guide to this
essential tool, the lathe, aimed at both the aspiring and experienced
engineers, modelmakers and horologists, Metal Turning on the Lathe
gives advice on choosing, installing, maintaining and using a lathe
safely and effectively in your workshop and is superbly illustrated
