Memory Details and Interactions
metal lathe in operation
metal lathe in operation. A metal workpiece, a brass pipe fitting, is held in a rotating chuck. A stationary cutting tool, operated with a lever, is used to remove material from the workpiece, resulting in the creation of metal shavings. The area around the lathe is covered in these shavings. The lathe itself appears old and has some rust.
