Can anyone recommend to me a few books for a newbie to lathe work , perhaps covering the basics up to everything. I've sourced a lathe now so wanted some extra reading to help me along the way.

Thanks Gareth

Okay thanks very much Jason. Ill take a look on the warco site.

Hi everyone , thanks for your replys . Good to hear what everyone has to say about these lathes , I definitely thought they looked worth the money and good money at that , which is when I actually got slightly worried for id sooner pay more for quality. But hearing what people say it all sounds good , if I was machining my own 3" or bigger TE parts what exact model in the range would be suitable?. Many thanks Gareth

Hi everyone , hope im posting this in the right place . I was looking to know what the general opinion is on warco lathes. Id like to hear all opinions before looking any further into purchasing anything. Many thanks Gareth
