A lathe is a machine tool used to shape and cut materials, typically metal, wood, or plastic, by rotating them against a cutting tool. As the material spins on the lathe, the cutting tool is applied to remove material and create smooth, precise shapes, such as cylindrical or conical surfaces. Lathes are commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and manufacturing to create parts like shafts, screws, or furniture legs. They come in various sizes, from small benchtop models to large industrial machines, and are essential for tasks requiring high precision and detailed work.
