Abstract: A lathe for cutting wooden spindles comprising a rectangular pattern board on which is mounted a pattern spindle and which contains end slots for adjustably positioning the pattern board closer to the work spindle when it is desired to have a product relatively smaller than that of the pattern. Parallel to the pattern and work spindles, is a cutting unit support in the form of a track, also parallel to the spindles, on which is slidably mounted, a tool carrier housing which rigidly supports a tool carrier in the form of a carriage. The carriage is propelled in either direction on a screw-threaded rod parallel to the cutting unit support. At one end of the threaded rod, a handle is provided which drives a train of gears so as to turn the threaded rod at high speed in either direction. The other end of the threaded rod is provided with a handle for directly rotating the threaded rod at low speed.
