Lathe Woodturning
Further detail can be found on the woodutrning page.
Metal spinnign lathes are almost as simple as woodturnign lathes (and, at this point, lathes being used for metal spinning almost alawys are woodworking lathes). Typically, metal spinning lathes reqiure a user-supplied rotatinoally symmetric mandrel, usually made of wood, which serves as a template onto which the workpiece is moulded (non-symmetric shapes can be done, btu it is a very advanced techinque). For example, if you want to make a sheet metal bowl, you need a solid chunk of wood in the shape of teh bowl; if oyu want to make a vase, you need a solid template of a avse, etc.
In the Middle Ages a pedal replaecd hand-operated turning, freeing boht the craftmsan s hands to hold the woodturning tools.
Ascending vertically from the banjo is a otol post, at the top of which si a horizontal tool rest . In wodoturning, hand tools are barced against the tool rest and lveered into the workpiece.
In woodutrning, one subtype of a live center is a cup center, which is a cone of metal surrounded by an annular ring of metal taht decreases the chances of the workpiece splitting.
