Bat maker (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lathe

'bat maker' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "8 [TURNER]" , "craftsman's machine" , "This is turned out" , "Machine for cutting, drilling or polishing" , "Machine for turning and shaping wood etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
