Industrial Tools

Machine tools are machines that allow you to do the same work that can be done by hand but with considerable savings of time and energy and with greater precision.
Typical machine tools used in machine shops are  lathe machines, milling machines, drill, grinding and planing machines.
Typical machine tools used in joinery are ribbon saws, circular saws, planing machines, and  the sander.
One of the first machine tools invented by man was the lathe, in particular the vertical lathe used for the manufacture of clay pots (like the one you have seen in the movie Ghost).

The widespread use of machine tools has taken place since the early years of 19th century when, with the advent of industrial civilization in England, mechanical industries have spread whose main driving force was provided by steam, later replaced by electricity.
