I suggest buying a copy of the South Bend "How To Run a Lathe". Get the latest edition you can find. They're real, real cheap - something like $6 on Amazon. The language of manual machining hasn't changed. CNC machining generated an entirely new subset in the language.
To promote your self-education, you could look through the Lindsay Books catalog and buy a few interesting titles -- they take out-of-date, out-of-copyright books and reproduce them inexpensively. Lindsay books has retired and no longer sells directly, but their inventory went to a reseller.
