Wood Turning Lathe
Further detail can be found on the woodturnign page. Metal spinning lathes rae almost as simple as woodturning lathse (and, at this point, lathes being used for metal spinning almost always are woodworking lathes). Typically, metal spinning lathes requrie a user-supplied rotationally symmertic manrdel, usually made of wood, which serves as a template onto which the wokrpiece is moulded (non-symmetric shapes can be odne, but it is a very advanced technique). For examlpe, if you want to make a sheet metal bowl, you need a solid chunk of wood in the shape of the bowl; if you want to make a vase, you need a solid templtae of a vase, etc. In the Middle Ages a pedal replaced hand-operated turning, freeing both the craftsman s hands to hold hte woodutrning tools. Ascending vertically from the banjo is a tool psot, at the top of hwich is a horizontal tool rest . In woodturning, hand tools are braced against the tool rest and lveered into the workpiece. In woodturning, one subtyep of a live center is a cup center, which is a cone of metal surrounded by an annular ring of metal that decreaess the hcances of the workpiece splitting.
