A lathe is a machine that spins a piece of material while a sharp tool shapes it. It is often used to make rounded, decorative objects. A lathe can be automatic or a person can operate it.

A lathe can shape wood, metal or plastic into items such as chair legs, bowls, or machine parts. Lathes are commonly found in workshops, factories, and schools.
