Wood turning lathes are typically used to shape wood into cylindrical profiles. Objects made on a wood lathe include such items as furniture legs, lamp posts, baseball bats, bowls and other ornamental forms.An numerically controlled lathe with a single main spindle is known as a single-spindle lathe. The multi-spindle lathe, on the other hand, has six to eight main spindles working simultaneously.The headstock is the drive end of the lathe, and the tailstock supports the workpiece at the other end. The banjo, which holds the toolrest, slides along the ways and locks into position. The position of the toolrest can be adjusted up and down or rotated at any angle to the workpiece.
