Second revised edition of Stan Bray’s classic book on using compact lathes such as the Unimat III, Peatol, Shearline & Cowells, now covering the very latest in compact lathe technology. Compact lathes are inexpensive, self-contained, generally adaptable to a broad range of machining techniques and thus ideal for a beginner, or those who have limited working space who want to do ‘real’ machining, even if the result will be relatively small. This is a great introduction to these versatile machines. 187 pages. 145 B & W photos. 23 line drawings and tables. Paperback. Special Interest Model Books.
