Small Lathes

Making and Using

A Practical Handbook on the Building and Use of Very Simple Lathes

Cassell and Company, 1937, black and white photographs, technical line drawings, paperback

Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, some rubbing, bumping, chipping and small tears to edges and corners, a little scuffing and marking to covers, small tears to spine  (see photographs)

“This handbook presents workings drawings and constructional details of, and simple instructions on making, a number of lathes which the amateur, and even the small professional man, may care to build for his own use.
…Another useful addition to this volume is the inclusion of information on the making of vertical slides, milling attachments and other useful lathe accessories.  Practical advice to the novice is to start with something simple – acquire experience with it – then progress steadily to the construction of a fully equipped lathe the possession of which will give years of good service and satisfaction.”
