Gearing of Lathes for Screwcutting is aimed specifically at the engineer
for use in the workshop. It is intended to take away as much as possible
of the mathematics and mystique from calculating gear ratios, so that
the more enjoyable work of using your lathe to make things becomes as
easy as possible. Topics covered in this latest addition to the The
Crowood Press Metalworking Guides includes Myford and other types of
lathes; approximations and alternatives; errors and their significance
and the non-gearbox mini-lathe.
