This classic handbook for students of metal work contains a complete
introduction to the subject, with chapters on everything from
recognising equipment to producing finished work. Written with the
beginner in mind, it is full of simple instructions and handy tips,
making it ideal for amateurs with practical interest in metal work.
Contents include: "Tools and Tool Holders", "Measuring Appliances",
"Chucks and Mandrels", "How to Centre Work for the Lathe", "Driving Work
Between Lathe Centres", "Turning Work Between Centres", "Chuck and
Face-Plate Work", "Drilling and Boring in the Lathe", "Screw Cutting",

expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume
now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new introduction on metal work.
