Shaping machine (5)

I believe the answer is:

lathe

'shaping machine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "Wood-shaping machine" , "Turner's machine" , "Turning tool" , "Machine for turning and shaping wood etc" , "8 [TURNER]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian and the LA Times.
