Now in its sixth edition, this book is the definitive work on the small precision lathe in the context of both the past and present. The bulk of the original text has been retained and covers basic construction, selection, and care of and accessories for the lathe as well as its uses. Fully updated, the final section also deals with the current scene based on extensive worldwide research. The directory of lathe, tool, and material stockists has also been completely revised.
