To properly turn wood stock, one should use a?

  1. Band saw

  2. Lathe

  3. Miter saw

  4. Table saw

The correct answer is: Band saw

Turning wood stock involves shaping the wood while it rotates on an axis. A band saw does not rotate the wood, a miter saw is used for straight cuts, and a table saw is used for crosscuts, none of which would be effective for turning wood. The correct tool for the job is a lathe, which allows the wood to be rotated and shaped into various designs.
