"Turning and Boring" by Franklin D. Jones is a specialized treatise for machinists and students in industrial and engineering schools written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on various turning and boring methods, emphasizing modern practices with engine and turret lathes, as well as vertical and horizontal boring machines. It provides detailed insights into the operation of these tools and the application of specialized techniques, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of machine tool operations. At the start of the text, the author lays the groundwork for understanding the engine lathe, describing its importance and versatility in machining operations such as turning cylindrical parts, boring holes, and cutting threads. The initial chapters delve into the essential components of a lathe, including the headstock, tailstock, and carriage, while introducing readers to fundamental concepts such as aligning workpieces, choosing cutting tools, and adjusting speeds for various materials. Through practical examples and technical explanations, the opening portion sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of lathe operations and their applications in modern machining.
