5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, June 15, 2005

This review is from: Workholding in the Lathe (Workshop Practice Series) (Paperback)

If you own a lathe, you need this book. I've read maybe 50 lathe books and this is one of the top few. This guy knows his way around all types of lathes and their accessories, which is a rare talent. He discusses jeweler's, wood, and metal lathe workholding, of all sizes. The book is very versatile, opening up possibilies you probably haven't thought of.

This book is excellent for both the neophite as well as the experienced lathe hand. It's a text, so you will want to read it several times, than keep it handy for referencing later.
