What can happen is that when the tool is on load it looks as if the
wheel or chuck is slipping.

You use a torch to light work on a machine tool?

The lathes in the basement had lights pointing at the work, especailly
the the new digital one we had it did lok like a standard torch had been
adapted like the older ones had what looked like adapted angle poised
lamps.

Quite. But a torch by nature is a battery device. Why would you use a
battery light on a tool driven by mains?
