52 Pages, 13500 words, 77 illustrations. Written by an ex gunsmith. Most text books on lathe work tell you that a four jaw chuck will hold rectangular work and do eccentric turning work but don’t say much more, so the full extent of its versatility is seldom explained. I have found it indispensable for serious work, and makes possible a variety and complexity of work and a degree of precision that cannot be achieved otherwise.
