How the first lathe was made
At first, people use two stands as a stent, set up to cut the wood, the use of branches of the elastic force to the rope rolled to the wood, pulling the rope to turn the wood, with the tool turning.
By the middle of the century, it was designed to use the foot pedal to rotate the crankshaft and drive the flywheel, and then drive to the spindle to rotate the "lathe."
This ancient method evolved into a rope on the pulley around the rope, the rope frame in the curved arched elastic rod, push back and forth so that the processing object rotation to turn, this is the "bow lathe."
As early as the ancient Egyptian era, people have invented the wood around its central axis when rotating with a tool for turning technology.
