The Baileigh Lathe is used to remove material from spinning objects. The workpiece spins while the tool is moved around the object to remove material. It can be used to make pins, threads, tapers, and generally a wide variety of (usually) round parts. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. DO NOT USE WITHOUT TRAINING AND EXTENSIVE PLANNING.
