all above statements are great. I do all my thru drilling on a metal lathe. I cover it up good with newspaper to protect it. I am pretty sure Chum use's a metal lathe for his plugs and he is one of the best. I would imagine you can adjust the machine to go fast enough to turn wood but like Joe stated it may not be cost effective to use for that in the long run.
