A fundamental requirement of lathe operation, for accuracy and safety, is the ability to hold any workpiece securely and repeatedly on the machine. While few problems arise with straightforward work on a properly aligned lathe, the variety of jobs undertaken by small workshops and model engineers is bound to give rise to occasions when how to hold work requires consideration. When these situations arise and exacting accuracy is essential, working methods and lathe set-up are vital for an acceptable result. The comprehensive manual all aspects of the "whys and hows" including the fundamentals of basic lathe alignment. Topics covered include faceplate work, general chuck work, universal or independent chuck, self-centering chuck, unusual chucks, collets, work steadies, and lathe alignment. Includes black and white photos, and 56 plans and scale drawings.
