lathe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one used to spin' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'some control at headingley' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'LATHE' is hidden within 'control at headingley'.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "Means for turning" , "Turning instrument" , "8 [TURNER]" , "Turning implement" , "Machine tool for shaping metal or wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
