Book Description
Excerpt from The Screw-Cutting Lathe: How to Select, Set Up, Adjust and Operate The writer would always advise the smith to buv a new lathe if possible. But there are sometimes circumstances which forbid the new tool while a second-hand one may be in sight. There are many excellent second-hand lathes, but it requires a man accustomed to lathes to pick out a good one. There are a few simple things to be looked at which will prevent the smith from selecting a lathe which has been too badly worn. First, look over the entire machine for signs of wear and hard usage. If the bed has been hammered, and V 5 all dented and jammed up, the tool-post hammered out of Shape, the gears broken or worn thin, then the smith may well leave that lathe to the junk man and pass to the next tool.
