Machine tool (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lathe

'machine tool' is the definition.
(I know that lathe is a type of shaping machine)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "Wood-shaping machine" , "Turning implement" , "piece of machinery" , "Machine tool for shaping metal or wood" , "craftsman's machine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Sydney Morning Herald.
