Woodworking as a hobby has always enjoyed a degree of popularity, and woodturning is a very                  
important aspect  of it. The main tool used in woodturning is a hobby lathe. A lathe is a tool which
turns or spins a block of  material in place while it is shaped and cut using a variety of specialty tools. Hobby         
lathes are often used to make  such items as table and chair legs, candlesticks, baseball bats,
and chess pieces

A basic hobby lathe consists of about six main components.
Almost all lathes have a bed, which is a horizontal beam to which
all the other parts are attached. At one end of the bed is the






headstock, which contains some form of power. Attached to the
power is the drive center, which holds a work piece in place and
turns it.

At the other end of the hobby lathe is the tailstock. It can be
adjusted horizontally to any position on the bed, depending on the
length of the piece with which the craftsman is working at the time.
When a workpiece is mounted between the headstock and tailstock,
it is said to be“between  centers.” Located in the middle of the bed
is the tool rest  which can also be adjusted horizontally and vertically.
It gives thehobbyist the ability to be very precise with his tools while
working.







A hobby lathe is generally designated according to the maximum
diameter of the material that can be held by it. For instance, a lathe
which is capable of holding a 6-inch diameter workpiece for turning
is referred to as a 6-inch  lathe. The other dimension that a hobbyist
may be concerned with is the maximum length of the material which
can be turned by the lathe.
