, Sparey really does give a lot of great information. His duscussion, for example, of parting off and how to correctly grind a parting off tool is unsurpassed by any other source of information I have read. Moltrecht's book is better at giving formulaes for calculating cutting speeds, etc. But this is pretty trivial to derive for yourself given a knowledge of basic geometry. Additionally, some of the recommended speeds/feeds are directed towards maximum efficiency in an industrial environment with high-HP machinery--trying some of the cuts on smaller equipment with lower HP (< 5 HP, say) typically found in a home workshop is probably not a good idea. I think Sparey's book does a much better job of presenting information useful for the home workshop.

Sparey's quirky British humor is just terrific. His comment, for example, that "The acquisition and installation of the lathe is one of the highlights of life." is absolutely priceless. I've got quite a library of books on lathes by now, and I think this is probably the best of them all.

This book covers an amazing assortment of information, from how to install a lathe to how to turn rubber, do metal spinning, mill in the lathe, and lap cylinder bores. For a concise summary of all the assorted knowledge a home machinist is likely to need to know about, this book is hard to beat.
