The Amish use lathes. What they DON'T use is electricity from the mains, unless they're renting the building their shop is in. Instead, they put a diesel engine in the shop, connect it to a driveshaft, and power the lathe from the driveshaft with leather belts. Or they drive the lathe with air or hydraulic.
