DID you Know? The first metal working lathe was invented in 1800 by a man called Henry Maudslay and boy have they come a long way since then, this was a pretty basic machine which was used with a lot of wheel and crank turning. The first milling machine that came nearly twenty years later thanks to a man called Eli Whitney still needed plenty of sweat and elbow grease to use. Due to the fact that it required the user to adjust the machines flywheel to make each part then the chances of getting identical parts made was like winning the lottery except they did not have the lottery back then, or did they?
