A lathe is a versatile machine tool used in workshops for shaping and machining materials, typically metal or wood. It operates by rotating the workpiece against a cutting tool, allowing for the creation of cylindrical shapes, threads, and various designs. Lathes can be used for tasks such as turning, drilling, and sanding, making them essential for precision manufacturing and craftwork. Different types of lathes, including wood lathes and metal lathes, cater to specific materials and applications.

Modern lathes are electrically powered. They are equipped with a drive motor which is connected to an electrical source. The drive motor transfers mechanical power to the gearbox of a lathe to enable operation of its spindle and feeds. In earlier times lathes did not have a drive motor. A workshop had a central drive which transferred the mechanical power to a rotating shaft that ran the length of the workshop. All machinery were lined along the shaft and was connected to it via drive belts.
An Engineering workshop can be found in most industrial areas of most towns and cities. Refer to Engineering\General in your local Yellow Pages.
Start by buying a lathe and a milling machine. After you have spent about $9,000 on that, we will talk about how you plan to rifle the barrel of your derringer, since making a smoothbore pistol is illegal. This is not a home workshop project.
