There is some bonus material included by the author and addressing the thread cutting, lathe alignment and some other relevant information. This book shall be treated as a very practical source for all people involved in the design of the spindles, building tool post grinders, special applications or just willing to learn a bit more about the correct using of the lathe.

All plans and instructions contained in the publication are very clear and, what is also very important, are all do-able.

However, the author has decided not to go too deep into the theory of the spindle design. This volume is considered the ideal one for the beginners in the field.
