Description
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. The workpiece is most usually a slender piece of hardwood. 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 rest and applied to the moving surface.
