• Lathe Project #3 Roughing, Finishing, and Grooving

• Trigonometry

• Trig Practice

• Lathe Work Holding, Boring Chuck Jaws

• Circular Interpolation Concepts

• Circular Interpolation Grooving

• Lathe Canned Cycles

• Lathe Threading Methods

• Lathe Cutter Compensation, Mathematical Methods

• Trig Practice: Arc Points
