Lathe for almost not dummies
Post Body

I am an experienced machinist / programmer, lots of 5 axis mills, wide range of parts. Multiaxis wire EDM and ram EDM. Also fair to good at manual mills, jig and surface grinding, gundrills, general shop equipment, etc.

I feel like there is a huge gap in my skill set with no lathe work. I've done a fair bit of random lathe work for incidentals, but nothing "real." I'm having a hard time addressing that gap with my workload at my current job. It's forever on the radar, but not coming. Places near me where I have an opportunity to learn are a pay cut.

Does anyone believe there is any video, book, etc. out there that would start me off good enough to be able to just jump on simple parts and go given a decent machining foundation?

Or anyone retired want to do some training in central Florida hahaha?
