Turner (surname)
Turner is a common surname originating from Normandy, France, arriving in England after the Norman conquest with the earliest known records dated in the 12th century. It is the 28th-most common surname in the United Kingdom. Most often it derives from an occupational name applied to a maker of small objects out of wood, metal or bone, by turning on a lathe (from Old French ''tornier'', "lathe", ultimately from Latin). In this sense it is analogous to the German surnames Drexel (name), Drexel, Drechsler, Dressler, and Dreyer, Polish wikt:Tokarz, Tokarz, Finnish wikt:sorvari, Sorvari, Russian :ru:Токарь (значения), Токарь (''Tokarʼ'') and related to English surnames such as Potter (name), Potter and Crocker (name), Crocker. Other occasional origins include Old French ''tournoieur'', referring to someone either in charge of, or who participates in a tournament, and ''Turnhare'', referring to a fast runner (one who can outrun a hare). Early recordings of this sur ...

Lathe
A lathe () is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about that axis.

Lathes can be used to shape pottery, the best-known design being the Potter's wheel. Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The workpiece is usually held in place by either one or two ''centers'', at least one of which can typically be moved horizontally to accommodate varying workpiece lengths. Other work-holding methods include clamping the work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or col ...
