I'm a noob and found this a good read!

Found this link online: http://www.textbooksonline.tn.nic.in/books/12/std12-voc-gm-em.pdf

Says it's for free distribution so there shouldn't be any issues posting the link.

I found it clarified a lot of things in a short period of time for me but all I looked at was the lathe section. Pretty sure I'll be printing it off and binding it for quick shop ref.

Use it as you see fit.

Interesting, it looks like a good learning tool for a beginner.
