Rundle

A rung of a ladder or a wheel or similar rotating object. I discovered the word today.

I've heard this used (and used it myself) when talking about a part of a wood-working lathe, and also when referring to the spindle (used that word more commonly than rundle) of a old fashioned treadle grind stone.

Good word!
