Lathe Operation and Maintenance (Modern Machine Shop Books) Illustrated Edition

I bought this book on a recommendation... Should have done my research 😔Book is a school book and not my favorite format to try and get information from.

great book, fast shipping, will buy again.

Good information on lathe and quick reference book .

item as described great book for a student lots of good and easy to understand information would highly recommend to anyone interested in this subject.

The book is fine for a true beginner, but hardly worth the money if you already have some lathe skills. I hoped the book would explain how to adjust bearings but any maintenance information was very basic and practically nonexistent.

Very useful to use and very understandable.

Great book for the "true beginner", me. Very well written, lots of good advice on safety and operations. Just the info you need to get started, now for the next book.......

I have only read the first 3 or 4 chapters in the book thus far, and I would say that it was what I was looking for. I didn't have any kind of background in operating a lathe, and this book is helping me with learning a little more about topic.I appreciate that the book stresses safety and how to safely operate the machinery. Too many people get hurt on machinery because they do not know how to safely run machinery.
