Wood-turning machines are devices for reducing sticks of wood to a desired form by means of rotary or non-rotary cutters brought into engagement with the circumference of the continuously-rotating stick or by means of rotary or non-rotary cutters revolving circumferentially around and in engagement with the stick or that portion of the stick to be reduced.

Features of copying devices |
This place covers:
Machines that are useful for many purposes, e.g., convertible machines (machines that cannot be defined by the tool used if they have one or more spindles in which tools of different categories can be inserted, i.e drill or mill or saw etc., thus designed for performing more than one operation) and machines which carry out multiple operations whether the same or different.
