A condensed explanation of lathe operation, from hand lathes to self-acting and screw-cutting lathes.
Excerpt from A Treatise on Lathes and Turning: Simple, Mechanical, and Ornamental The present volume is intended as a Handbook for the use of students in mechanics, amateur turners, and others who are interested in the art of turning. Proficiency in this most useful art is not to be acquired from books alone, but I believe the information given in the follow ing pages may be taken as sound and practical, whilst the lathes, tools, and appliances described are those of the present day. The first part is devoted mainly to the description of the principal varieties of lathe in use. The second part treats of turning with hand tools in hard and soft woods, ivory, &c., also, in iron and the metals generally; this part includes screw chasing, drilling, fret sawing, and other subsidiary operations. The third part describes the self-acting lathe and its uses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
