The Lathe Book, 3rd Edition

Offert en anglais seulement

Completely revised and updated, this is the definitive guide to the lathe, written by legendary woodturning author, teacher and lathe designer Ernie Conover.

Conover brings this classic reference book up to date, incorporating the many recent innovations in the lathe and its accessories. It introduces the novice or professional woodturner to the expanded range of lathes now available, including invaluable information on choosing a lathe.

The book covers all details of the lathe and accessories, set-up and workflow, chuck types (including shop-made varieties), maintenance and repair. In the discussion of thin spindles, an excellent design for a self-adjusting steady rest is worth the book’s price. Includes numerous black-and-white drawings and color photographs, with an index of suppliers.

Softcover, 8" × 10", 208 pages, 2020.
