The Care and Operation of a Lathe, by the Sheldon Machine Co., Inc., originally published by Sheldon in Chicago, 1942. Republished by Lindsay Publications, Bradley, IL, 1989. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 paperback, 106 pages, ISBN 1-55918-105-2. Please note this book is new, not used. It is a reprint, not an original Sheldon issued its own lathe how-to book in response to the great success of South Bend Lathe's How to Run a Lathe. Sheldon's equally excellent book covers basic parts of a lathe; the theory of metal cutting; grinding cutter bits for lathe tools; uncrating and setting up a lathe; oiling the lathe; setting up lathe tools; setting up the work on centers; turning, facing, knurling, thread cutting, drilling, cutting off, and other basic operations; an overview of the modern back geared screw cutting lathe; and much more. It is perfect for the person interested in getting started in home shop machining, or even for old hats that wants looking to re-sharpen and hone their practice. You may not own a Sheldon lathe, but the small Sheldon lathe was a generic machine very much like those of South Bend and a dozen other manufacturers, and Sheldon had the book written to apply to any lathe – though of course showcasing Sheldon products.
