The Mini-lathe has become the best-selling item of machinery in the hobby engineering market – often purchased as a first step by beginners to the hobby. For many years Myford lathes were considered as “standard” for model engineers, but at about one-twentieth of the price of a new Myford, these new Mini-lathes set the benchmark for the future.
This book is a complete course on using and improving this new generation of budget lathes. It explains everything from setting up and “tuning” the machine’s for best performance to using accessories and carrying out tasks.
David Fenner based this practical book on his many hours “road testing” mini-lathes in his own home workshop. After a career of over forty years spent mainly in manufacturing engineering, he occupied the editorial chair at Model Engineer’s Workshop magazine for about years, relinquishing the role in 2007 to a life in Scotland where he devoted his time to hobby activities and to writing about home workshop topics. His first serious involvement in model making was with control line model aircraft in the late 1950s and early 1960s, taking up model engineering in the late 1970s. His other interests include classic cars and motorcycles
