My point is, if you're really clueless about a lathe (and not simply
trolling here) then you'd be well off to go to your local library (the
main branch is likely to have the best collection) and spend some time
around 684 (Dewey Decimal System). That will give you enough
familiarity with basic terminology to be able to evaluate the
recommendations you'll get.

That's a lot to read into a three word reply, I admint...

OK, I found the right book, I think. It's called, "The Lathe of
Heaven," by some guy named Ursula K. LeGuin.


No, I'm not *that* clueless! :-)
