Mini-Lathe Tools and Projects (WPS48)

Title: Mini-Lathe Tools and Projects

Author: David Fenner

Workshop Practice Series No. 48.

The Mini-Lathe has become the best-selling item of machinery in the hobby engineering market - often purchased as a first step by beginners to the hobby.

This book follows on from the same author’s introduction to the Mini-Lathe (WPS43) 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 can equally be applied to other small model engineering.
