Lathe Notes Vol 6
articles from Machinery Magazine
reprinted by Lindasy Publications

Joseph Horner (remember him? we've reprinted some of his great material) explores "Turning Toolholders" in two large well-illustrated articles. You get a study of the lathe tool-holders used for turning, cutting-off and screw-cutting. You'll explore fixed front rake holders, fixed top rake holders, fixed top rake holders with swivel action, holders with top rake, cutting-off holders, screw-cutting holders, and forming-tool holders. Most of these I've never seen except in old articles. Many look like they might be worth fabricating for experimentation.

Next you get report on a "New Method of Building Lathes." Through photographs and extensive text you'll watch workers in a Chicago factory building heavy lathes without machine work on the bed casting. You can watch them assemble the lathe bed, pouring the clamping metal, assemble the lathe carriage and more. If they could build heavy duty lathes this way, you should be able to adapt their techniques to building your own small lathe.

Finally you get an article teaching the production of square threads on the lathe which includes the tools, methods, and principles involved.
