In machining, one of the oldest and most important tools is the lathe. This specialized machine can be used in cutting, spinning, sanding, drilling, facing, turning, and other metalworking tasks.
A lathe functions by rotating the metal against the edge of a cutting tool. To do this, one has to move the cutting tool lengthwise on the horizontal plane into any desired angle across the metal piece, to create an object that exhibits perfect symmetry and precision around the axis of rotation.
Among the items that are products of working with modern commercial lathes are gas cylinders, brass vases and instrument bells, and a variety of kitchenware.
