Despite the growing numbers of milling machines in amateur workshops, a majority of model engineers still rely on a lathe and a drilling machine as the basic equipment. The lathe, 'the king of machine tools', can be adapted for almost any function, but next to turning its most valuable use is for milling operations, either using the lathe itself to drive the cutters or by extending its scope by the addition of a separate milling attachment. One of the most popular titles in model engineering books for almost sixty years was Milling in the Lathe, which first appeared in the 1920s and continued in updated and revised editions until 1983. This book replaces it, covering all the basic information it contained and adding to it from recent experiences and developments. The author, Tubal Cain, needs no introduction to Model Engineer readers as a highly experienced engineer and skilled craftsman with an ability to write on engineering subjects in a clear, simple and thorough style.

A very good book.
Very helpful and clearly written. Some parts are not relevant to my mini-lathe but still useful and interesting thus only 4 star. Better suited to a 3in or larger lathe.

Definitely a book that adds to ones knowledge and saves both time and money in the shop
It filled some of the holes in ways I can use the lathe as a mill to accomplish the tasks better, such as grinding a chamber reamer, after turning the OD on it, and using the headstock as an indexing head. finishing the parts or tooling is easier than how I have been doing it prior to using the information and tables in in the book. I recommend this book to both rookies and tradesman both to fill voids or refresh yourself in areas that one doesn't use often.

Milling on the lathe
This little book has been very useful to me as I am learning to make my lathe more useful. It has good ideas written by someone who has been there.
