To be clear, "lathe shop" as a single term appears in Google 15,200 times, compared to 77,200 for "turnery." Certainly both are correct.

Reference

Reference information:
(Mach.) A machine for turning, that is, for shaping articles of wood, metal, or other material, by causing them to revolve while acted upon by a cutting tool.

En realidad, el tornero no da forma a las "herramientas" sino a las piezas en las que trabaja.
