Weaving machine may appear menacing

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loom

I believe this is a double definition.

'weaving machine' is the first definition.
(machine for weaving thread)

'appear menacing' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'may' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for loom that I've seen before include "Appear large and indistinct, to weave?" , "See 12" , "Textile machine for weaving" , "Appear indistinctly, in threatening form" , "Of future event, seem ominously close" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
