While the turret lathe is
essentially a tool for the production of work in large
quantities, a 6-in. lathe of the type described in this
article will be found exceedingly useful in the small
experimental shop. With a center held in the main turret,
the machine may be used as a simple engine lathe, and when a
number of similar pieces are to be turned out in a hurry the
work may be performed in almost as expeditious a manner as
on a commercial turret lathe.
This machine was built and used by the author in his own
workshop, on fine precision work, and many accurate jobs
have been done with it very quickly. Most of the work of
building can be done in a workshop equipped only with a vise
and bench drill, with the necessary small tools, as flat
cold-rolled steel is used for the ways, carriage, and other
parts of that character.
This workshop tool plan contains
detailed step by step instructions with illustrations on how to complete
this project.
