The evolution of the compact, or portable, lathe has brought many a
model engineer's life-long ambition to reality. No longer regarded
as the scaled-down variant of the long-established permanent
workshop machine, they are purpose-designed tools of remarkable
ingenuity in their own right. Compact lathes (such as the Unimat
III, Peatol, Shearline and Cowell range) are inexpensive,
self-contained, adaptable to a broad range of machining techniques
and ideally suited for beginners and those with working space
restrictions. Stan Bray's comprehensive introduction to the subject
covers the technology and the components, the machining operations
and facilities which will enable the novice or experienced operator
quickly to reach full proficiency and achieve the highest standards
of lathe work.
