If you're like most people, you may not even know what a lathe is. So, we're here to tell you.
A lathe is a power tool that can be used to shape metal or wood. The lathe turns the object around on an axis, sort of like a potter's wheel does when you're making a clay bowl, so that you can work on it in 3D.
You can see lathes described with more info and reviews at the Tools and Reviews Lathes page. Some leading brands include Jet, Powermatic, Delta, PSI, Grizzly, Vega, and Wilton.
