Workholding in the Lathe

A fundamental requirement of the lathe operation, for accuracy and safety, is the ability to hold any workpiece securely and preferably, repeatable 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 occasion's when how to hold work requires consideration. When great accuracy is essential, working methods and lathe set up are vital for an acceptable result.

This book gives the how and why in all aspects of this subject including basic lathe alignment.
