Graphical Construction Glossary >> Tools. >> Hand Tools >> Treadle Wood Lathe
This old woodworking lathe is just about as simple as it gets. Made by a carpenter with some help from a blacksmith. It has the basic requirements, a headstock, a move able tail stock and a tool rest. The power is provided by a treadle. A device that was used in hundreds of thousands of sewing machines. The thing that makes a treadle possible on a machine like a lathe is the large flywheel. It would take a fair amount of effort to get that large wheel spinning, but then little to maintain the speed. Have a look at another treadle operated lathe, this one a sophisticated metalworking screw cutting lathe.

"What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience? "When we build, let us think that we build for ever."John Ruskin 1819-1900 |
