    Metal Screw Lathe: object designed to spin material fast enough so you can ruin it quicker and eat tool stock! Can also be used to fire 3 and 4 jaw chucks across the room at the rate of a 30 pound cannon ball, great at a cigar parties in the shop!

    Closely related to the "straight angle", the "long weight/long stand" "skyhook" and "stripey paint". One over eager trainee always goes for it.
