    Complex turning is essentially rosecutting in the round - the
    principles involved are largely the same. Ornamental lathes are
    extremely rare - there was a shop making them - I forget who, now,
    but they were about $20,000. Rosecutting machines are still made,
    though they're not cheap either. They are generally called "Engine
    Turning" machines - the background for Guilloche enamels and such.
