A lathe is a versatile and essential piece of machinery used in metalworking, woodworking, and various other industries. It operates by rotating the workpiece against a cutting tool that's secured to the headstock or tailstock. This allows for precise shaping, turning, and hollowing of materials. Lathes come in a range of sizes and configurations, making them suitable for both small-scale hobby projects and large-scale manufacturing operations.
