Well its one of the machines present in any big workshop. All process plants and heavy industries have one. A marvelous machine to cut out unique machine parts from a Iron block.

A Lathe:
Take a piece of wood, bolt it to the left side, and move that centering jig to the other side, then turn it on. The wood(or whatever material spins, Place a cutting tool on that T shaped platform near the material and you can cut out groves.
We used these in Shop class when I went to school, long time ago. I made a Bowl, and you can see the common item known as a staircase spindal, which is a prime example of a product made from a wood lathe. Factories would have Metal lathes.
