About this book
"Elementary lathe practice : As adapted to the teaching of machine shop…" by T. J. Palmateer is a technical instruction manual written in the early 20th century. Aimed at beginners in technical schools, it teaches foundational engine‑lathe operations and shop practices, focusing on accurate turning, facing, tapering, threading, boring, drilling, reaming, and knurling through tightly designed practical exercises. The book is organized around three progressive exercises. The first covers cutting stock, centering, mounting between centers with a dog, facing, rough and finish turning, tool setting and grinding, speed choices, tailstock adjustment, gauging, and filing to produce a close running fit of a shaft to a collar.
