DESCRIPTION:
Gary said Enlightening information and solutions to problems for the mini-lathe owner. If you own a mini-lathe, this book is nearly a must-have. While you might not use or need all of the information, it will enlighten you about some issues and tricks, as well as solutions for getting the most out of your mini-lathe.While some info is UK-specific, and not always in American English, I don't think this diminishes the value of this book, as other reviewers have suggested. Some of the products he suggests buying do have UK references, but you can get the same stuff in the USA (sometimes made in Britain but available here).There's a bit about rebuilding certain parts of the mini-lathe to make it work bet.
