Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I had to buy this in book form when I first got my lathe. It is a tutorial on how to run a lathe for free.

Thanks for posting this information. In all the years I have been doing this I had never heard of American Machine Tools. Don't know how I missed that as I have many books on machining practices, I've bookmarked it and will pass it on to others in my machining group.
