livre fortement recommandé pour tous ceux qui veulent se lancer dans le tournage des métaux. l'utilisation de base est bien expliquée

For a new 7 x 10 or 7 x 12 mini lathe owner this book is a great companion and great value for the price. It's a well organized introduction for the hobbyist to using a metal lathe with specific focus on addressing some of the limitations of these small lathes. From what I can tell, all the mini lathes are of similar design and construction, so it doesn't matter if your lathe is red or grey or blue, this book will be of value. Projects included in the book provide useful upgrades and tools to improve your work on the lathe. I believe this book is a reprint of an English book from the Workshop series, so beware of duplicating it in your library. This explains why the book refers to an English version of the lathe and English suppliers of parts and accessories.
