This thing is awesome!! Shipped fast and was packaged well. Minimal assembly required, head and tail stock lined up perfectly. I have had zero issues, gripes, complaints whatsoever! It’s quiet and super smooth, I can’t say enough good things about this lathe. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this thing….I absolutely love mine!
Salvador Green (verified owner) –
It’s my first lathe but have enjoyed it a lot and made several things. No issues
Andre Cremin (verified owner) –
Love it. The ability to reverse during sanding it great. Also the ability to change speeds with a restart switch is the best feature. I keep it on the middle belt setting and the speed switch allows me to have perfect control of my speeds.

Mario Turner (verified owner) –

For the most part exelant lathe, I’ve only had it for a short time but I love it. Id rate it a 5 if it wasn’t for the tool rest have had my comet ii for about 2 weeks n the tool rest broke. Don’t feel this should of happen im dealing with support now on fixing the problem. Other than this issue it is a great machine. Would recomend it to anyone looking for a great lathe, foot note order a replacement tool rest when you order the lathe.

great little lathe for the home turner and anyone just starting lathe work, it has a lot of options and more that you can add on
Webster Altenwerth (verified owner) –
So far the lathe is running good. I was a little concerned about power, no problems so far.
Isidro Pacocha (verified owner) –
Love this lathe for a beginners I definitely would recommend this lathe so much fun
Chadrick Cremin (verified owner) –
This is my first wood lathe so my experience is limited, however after much research I feel I made the right choice going with a variable speed lathe. This lathe has a lot of options for its price point. I did watch a review online that warned of poor handleing during shipping and experienced this first hand as mine showed up with a cracked bed. HD sent it back to Teknatool no questions asked but it was frustrating having to wait another two weeks for the replacement one. As far as tool performance and operation I give this item five stars.

This product did not have a rpm readout as the pictures would indicate.That said, it is a great lathe at a great price.Lots of features and not too big. Size is just right for most applications.
Jennyfer Lehner (verified owner) –
My first lathe. Chose this one from all the great reviews and the available accessories. I’ve turned several handles and crochet hooks already and can’t find anything I don’t like about it. High quality item and HD was the lowest price I found.
Torrey Abbott (verified owner) –
With the 3/4 HP rating, I expected more power out of this than it has. If anything, it felt weaker than my old 1/2 HP lathe. Very underwhelming. The toolrest comes painted, which does not allow the tools to slide. Immediately it started flaking off. Ended up returning for a better model. It’s fine for small projects, but don’t expect a robust lathe.
Osbaldo Windler (verified owner) –
I really like the Nova Comet II. It does make some excessive noise even though I ran the motor to break it in per the book. When running with the chuck it is quieter but with a pen mandrel it makes some loud noises.
Quinn Abbott (verified owner) –
Does a good job. I’m just learning to turn .
Kirk Schuster (verified owner) –
Very solid midi lathe. I have a mini lathe and this was a logical upgrade. I did all the research and shopping and this came up the best. I have made pencils and bowls on the lathe now and love it.
Emilie King (verified owner) –
So far everything works as advertised. I haven’t done any heavy turning yet, but the tail stock and head stock align perfectly, the motor purrs and the controls function properly. The price was so low that I worried about quality, but it is worth every penny. What a steal; I almost feel dishonest
Daphney Kuhic (verified owner) –
For those of us looking for a Midi Lathe….this is the one!
Karen Herman (verified owner) –
Very happy
