Talk:Lathe
From Academic Kids
Is this original work? -- Zoe
How about adding some material on lathes that produce objects with elliptical and skewed symmetry? They were well known in the 16th century, but do not seem so common now. AK.
I have heard that a lathe is the only machine tool capable of reproducing itself. Does anyone have a source on this? Kd5mdk 06:56, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
