A lathe is a machine tool that turns a round workpiece on a rotating spindle and allows the operator to cut it with a sharp tool.  Wood lathes are the older type from which metal-cutting lathes are descended.  The workpiece is most usually a slender piece of hardwood, and it is carved on the machine into a circularly-symmetric part.  The cutting tool resembles a chisel, though it is specialized for lathe use.  As the workpiece is turned on the spindle, the cutting tool is braced by hand on a stationary tool post and applied to the moving surface.
