Metal Lathe for Home Machinists

Great book for the beginner.

DHL Portugal couldn't be bothered to deliver this to my door and dumped it at a collection point 2km away. Not impressed. Book is good.

Good

Was a Christmas gift and the recipient was more than happy with these items.

I am learning a lot about my little mini vertical mill from this book. Glad I got it. I find a number of things I can do with the machine that I had no idea how to do before. The most interesting project for me so far concerns how to calculate and turn tapers. I have now turned my first practice MT2 shaft, and am making the tool it shows for setting up the lathe to turn the taper. I will make a tool for MT1, 2, and 3. I have never had any success with tapers before this book.
