<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 399391, member: 54&quot;]Hi Boud.&nbsp; Yes, “turned” on an engine lathe, most peeps just say lathe but technically since it probably was powered by an electric motor, is an engine lathe.&nbsp; The maker was using a dull cutting tool in his lathe, you can tell because of the roughness of the cut on the bottom.&nbsp; The dimple in the center is from where he drilled a conical hole to fit on the lathe’s “center,” a strong, sharp-pointed steel piece that is cranked into that dimple to hold one end of the workpiece in place but allowing it to revolve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
