A cross-question something like lathe's.?

Now this might seem a stupid question but I want to know why does lathes turn the piece you want to electrical device on to but not the drill or chisel....
"> Because it's a lot easier to do accurate work that way.
It's closely easier and more flexible to turn and maintain
the position of a moving work piece than it would be to
maintain rigid control of a significantly stressed moving cutter.
