Wood turner

LATHE

This spinning tool shapes everything from table legs to baseball bats by cutting away material as it rotates. Carpenters and machinists rely on it for precision cylindrical work.

A "wood turner" refers to a tool used to shape wood by rotating it against a cutting edge. The answer "LATHE" fits because a lathe is the machine that spins wood (or other materials) while a craftsman carves it into symmetrical shapes like table legs or bowls. The clue plays on the double meaning of "turner"—both the person operating the tool and the action the machine performs. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay, just a direct nod to woodworking.
