WOOD LATHES

Wood lathe is a kind of wood machine that can turn wood into different shapes. We usually know two kinds of wood lathes, which include wood lathe with hand-held tools and wood lathe with CNC(Computer Number Control). Wood lathes are typically used to shape wood into cylindrical profiles. Objects made by a wood turning lathe include lamp posts, furniture legs, baseball bats, wood columns, bowls, vases, wood crafts and other ornamental forms. Wood lathe tooling includes securing and fixturing devices for the workpiece, a moveable tool rest, and hand-held lathe tools in the form of long handled scrapers, gouges, skews and parting tools. Some specialty toolings are also available for surface processing and internal shaping. Although wood lathes can take many forms depending on the primary turning operation, those on campus include the driven or rotating headstock, lathe bed, tailstock for longer objects, and an adjustable tool rest.
