Screwcutting In The Lathe Book - By Martin Cleeve

173 pages

One of the most useful functions of a modern lathe is its ability to cut any form of external or internal thread of any thread form, pitch or diameter within the overall capacity of the machine. Detailed information of a practical nature is, however, not easy to find - a situation that this book will do much to rectify. Martin Cleeve is a very experienced engineer with a capability of converting factual analyses into easily understood forms. His own expertise and the standards to which he works are evident in his writing, and in addition, he is also quite at home with both imperial and metric measures having considerable experience in the conversions required when working in partially metricated areas. This book is not only an invaluable treatise on lathe screwcutting but is also a useful demonstration of working in both imperial and metric standards. All of the projects are extensively illustrated and full working drawings accompany the text. Once followed through, the reader will have amassed a wealth of practical skills and a range of useful workshop tools and equipment.
