This book follows on from the same author's introduction to the Mini-Lathe (Workshop Practice Series No. 43) and presents a series of projects which are intended to extend the versatility of this little machine. In some cases, additional machining capacity will be required, which some readers may find at their local model engineering club. The book covers the Mark 2 Mini-Lathe, and specific tools such as the radius turning attachment, the tailstock and the dividing head, and includes techniques such as taper turning and knurling. Whilst specifically written for the Mini-Lathe, some of the projects in this book can equally be applied to other small model engineering lathes and in many cases the concepts can be scaled to suit other equipment. Review: Very useful and clearly written, but โฆ - This is a good little book if you are after a source of tweaks and improvements for your Mini-Lathe, the alterations and suggestions for improving the machine are extremely helpful. I have one basic criticism; it does not seem to have been properly proof-read and the absence of a few important drawings, measurements, and photographs has been allowed to slip through into print. This is irritating rather than a reason not to buy the book, as it is reasonably easy to work out what isn't shown , but it might put less experienced operators in a bit of a spin. I like the fact that there is a choice of designs for a taper turning attachment, and the four suggestions for coping with the annoying little habit the lathe has of having its gib strips going loose under the saddle. As I said, basically an excellent little book Review: Well worth a read - A well written book, very interesting.
