The Mini-Lathe

Excellent, informative book. A great aid for the beginner or born again machinist in selecting a lathe and associated tools and accessories. Very clear explanations with good photographs of each item being described and all in plain English with no over the top technical terms etc. There's also a section at the end with a couple of projects to do when you get your lathe.

Very nice book on metal mini lathes. Having read it I know what I need and what to buy. Really good book.

Having purchased several books on mini-lathes I found myself still looking for something that made sense. New to 'turning' lots of things were a mystery until I found this book. It's brilliant, loads of colour pictures and written in a style that is simple to follow and as clear as can be. Well done to the author - fabulous.

Other books on this subject have dealt with large lathes whereas this is specific for the mini lathe - I know its in the title but it is a well written book that explains things in an easy to follow manner

A great book that doesn't assume that you have a degree in metalurgy nor assumes that you are still trying to write with crayons. Well pitched and essential reading for any mini lathe owner.
