Lathe works great right out of the box! Perfect for beginner or experienced user!

Great lathe, points on head and tail line up perfectly, which was a major problem with the other lathe I bought. Plenty of power and nice features you dont see on many other smaller lathes. Shipping was super fast as well. Highly recommend!

This lathe is very solid with a wisper quiet motor. It runs throughout the speed range with no vibrations. The centers lign up perfectly. The on off switch is in a better location than my other lathe. The RPM readout is awesome. Reverse switch is something I’m going to love for sanding. I have been turning wood for 68 years and must admit, rhis is the kind of lathe that the operator controls and not the other way around. I wish I had purchased it sooner.

This product is good quality. It arrived faster than expected which was fun, and the manual is easy to understand and the system itself is easy to use whilst still being sturdy and effective. So far I have been quite successful with my efforts, and i look forward to using this product down the road.

My prior lathe had five fixed speeds. I didn’t realize how limiting fixed speeds were. I love the variable speed control . It allows for a much better turning experience. Although the speed control has a delay before reaching the desired rpm one can easily adapt to the delay. Also, the reverse feature is more helpful then anticipated.

I’ve owned this for a little over a year now, and I love it. Set up was easy and have had no problems with it. I had not turned since high school, I’m 64 now. I bought a set of carbide tools at the same time, and was able to start turning right away. If I do say so myself, (and others do also), I turn out some pretty nice turnings. Fantastic lathe to get started on.

I’m getting older and downsizing from my big lathe. This one is just about the industry standard for a basic mini-lathe, with tight tolerances, and easy for a beginner to use. Hint – remove the preservative on the ways and tool holder with degreaser so that the tool rest slides easily. Standard sizes, easy to find accessories.
