Lathe, an Uncommon card
A lathe is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, threading and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about that axis.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Lathes are used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, thermal spraying, reclamation, and glass-working.
- Lathes can be used to shape pottery, the best-known such design being the potter's wheel.
- Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces, and screw threads or helices.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lathe article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Lathe
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
