Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Solid book - A really excellent book, so good in fact that it actually stopped me going out and buying a lathe - at least for now. Full of useful nuggets of information with concise explanations as to why things work in a particular way and possible alternative approaches. Unlike most publications the book isn't providing instruction on how to make a particular object but rather focusses on the capability of a lathe and the effort required to set it up for particular tasks. Review: Basic Lathework, a must read for aspiring Machinist's - What an excellent reference book for the new/aspiring lathe machinist. Lots of details & tips from an experienced lathe user, just what you need when starting out with your new lathe. Having bought this book before committing to a machine purchase, I found areas of information that changed my decision criteria, & bought a more suitable machine & tools for now/future projects. Areas covered include...choosing a machine, cutting tools, work/tool holding, centres, parting off, hole boring, threading, taper turning, measurements & misc operations 1 & 2. All worthwhile topics in clear language...perfect. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 452,005 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 467 in Mechanical & Materials Engineering 17,218 in Hobbies & Games | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (203) | | Dimensions | 14.61 x 1.27 x 20.96 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1854862618 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1854862617 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 182 pages | | Publication date | 29 Nov. 2010 | | Publisher | Special Interest Model Books | ## Images ![Basic Lathework (Workshop Practice): 45 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31gdhvMW0TL.jpg) ![Basic Lathework (Workshop Practice): 45 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41nWVDVG6kL.jpg) ![Basic Lathework (Workshop Practice): 45 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lm3g--1XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid book *by J***H on 31 May 2023* A really excellent book, so good in fact that it actually stopped me going out and buying a lathe - at least for now.

Lots of details & tips from an experienced lathe user, just what you need when starting out with your new lathe. Having bought this book before committing to a machine purchase, I found areas of information that changed my decision criteria, & bought a more suitable machine & tools for now/future projects.

All worthwhile topics in clear language...perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful guide. *by P***T on 8 November 2013* As a beginner I struggled with some of the terminology but stuck at it, re-reading it as a textbook & highlighting the essential sections in each chapter. This has been well worth the effort as my understanding of lathe operation is much improved. Mr Bray's grammar & punctuation are, let us say, individual but he is an engineer not an English teacher. Overall, a useful guide for a beginner. ## Frequently Bought Together - Basic Lathework (Workshop Practice Series) - The Metalworker's Workshop (Workshop Practice Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/49365087-basic-lathework-workshop-practice-45](https://www.desertcart.at/products/49365087-basic-lathework-workshop-practice-45) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
