Description
Remember when you could turn your own pens? Fill your house with as many pens as you can with the WEN 8-Inch by 12-Inch Variable Speed Midi Wood Lathe. Adjust the variable speed anywhere from 750 to 3200 rotations per minute. The WEN 8-Inch by 12-Inch Variable Speed Benchtop Wood Lathe features an MT1 spindle and tailstock taper to tightly grip workpieces, two tool rests (4-1/2 inch and 7 inch) to provide needed support for chisels and tools during operation, and a 2A motor to keep things turning. The easy-to-use lever clamping system makes adjustments to both the tool rest and the tailstock simple and precise. The WEN Wood Lathe also includes a flat wrench, a headstock spur center, a tailstock cup center, a knockout rod and a 5-inch faceplate for non-spindle workpieces.

This is a really good lathe for small work and starting out. It is easy to move around and very adequate for the intended usage. I will eventually get a larger lathe, but for now I am enjoying this one as I develop my skills.

I purchased this Wen wood lathe for making new hardwood handles on several of my old fishing rods with rotted cork or foam handles. I am almost finished with my first rod and have found this lathe to be excellent for this work. It is portable so I can bring it outside and not have my house full of wood dust to clean up.

Great for starting, I am happy with it. I would recommend for a starter lathe
Dario Deckow (verified owner) –
Not too big, not too small, just what I needed.

This little lathe did what I bought it for very well, small spires to go on bird house roofs. If some one wants to do small items I can’t imagine a better lathe. Good safe forgiving lathe to learn on and make beginners mistakes on. Turning is addictive. My second bigger lathe comes Tuesday!!

Works but it’s built with a lot of plastic. For what I’ll be doing it’s good to go though

My 19 year old loves it great for making duck calls

All is Great

Great little wood lathe, especially for the price. Bought for my Son-in-law, a handy “DIY” guy, and he loves it. Has done several projects making everything from small tool handles to jointed table legs. Variable speed motor is a super feature.

Great deal on an excellent lathe.

Perfect for pens turning and small projects. This machine is perfect for the novice but also has the power for those more experienced. Easy setup. Sturdy. Variable speed is great for those details.
Simeon Kohler (verified owner) –
I’m super happy with this little lathe. Every feature on it is what a “pen turner” like myself needs. Set up and installation was easy. There are no belts to change for speed control, just dial in the speed you want and go. Love it!
Jermey D’Amore (verified owner) –
This lathe is simple to use and runs smooth works well turning pens and other small pieces
Frederique Hettinger (verified owner) –
Overall I have enjoyed the mini lathe. I lover the variable speed as well as the size. It has been good for small projects like bottle openers and muddles. Biggest gripe would be with the tail stock. Even after being locked down, it tends to slide when driving but into the piece. I would recommend
Declan Goodwin (verified owner) –
As a novice lathe worker I was intimidated by the size and the rotation of the bigger ones, this lathe allows a comfortable variation of speed and a manageable size. Awesome piece of equipment!
Queen Kozey (verified owner) –
Quiet solid lathe. Can’t beat the price for the quality.
Jace Pfannerstill (verified owner) –

This tool was simple to assemble and works great

The lathe works great, just be sure that the drive center digs deep into the wood
