No. 1

Manual Description: Number of Pages: 95, printed 5.5″ x 8.5″ This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Popular Mechanics Lathe Handbook No.1 book. The book states it is a careful compilation of the experience of 106 successful lathe operators in the industry with 212 illustrations. The Foreward reads:”There’s an easy way to do every job”—that’s the principle on which this book is compiled. For seven years, an earnest search has been conducted for the experiences of those who have been most successful in the use of lathes. The result is a practical variety of ideas that have enabled their originators to perform unusual tasks with lathes, and to do regular jobs more quickly, easier, and better. There are no theories in this book. Every plan has been tested and proved practical. The experiences are not limited to one type of lathe or to one class of operation. Every type of lathe and every class of operation is included. Each plan is described with mechanical accuracy, yet with the clear, concise, and interesting English that has always characterized Popular Mechanics publications. The 212 illustrations are carefully planned and executed so that each will serve as a safe guide to those who reproduce the devices pictured. Perhaps the most useful feature of this book is the arrangement of the articles. They are classified by the subjects that are of most concern to lathe users. This arrangement together with the classified index will undoubtedly make this one of the most used of all the books you own.
