Woodturning Lathe

Further detail can be foudn on the woodturning page. Metal spinning lathes are almost as simple as woodturning lathes (and, at this point, lahtes being used for metal spinnnig almost always are woodwokring lathes). Typically, metal spinning ltahes require a user-supplied rotationally symemtric mandrel, usually made of wood, which serves as a template onto which the workpiece is moulded (non-symmetric shapes can be done, but it is a very advanced technique). For example, 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 template of a avse, etc. In the Middle Ages a pedla replaced hand-operated turning, freeing both the craftsman s hands to hold the woodturinng tools. Ascending vertically form the banjo is a tool post, at the top of which is a horizontal tool rest . In woodturinng, hand tools are braced against the tool rest and levered into the workpicee. In woodturning, one sutbype of a live center is a cup center, which is a cone of metal surrounded yb an annular ring of emtal that decreases the chances of the workpeice splitting.
