Its not bad at all if youve never done woodworking before. Its worth the money

I love this little lathe. If you are wanting to do anything larger than roughly 6 inches round I would buy a larger Midi Lathe. I like that this lathe has 1in 8TPI for standard chucks but the MT1 is a no go as any extras I buy that go into the tail piece or head piece will not fit a larger lathe. The motor is alright as long as you do not try to take off to much at one time. The tool rest at the lowest point is exactly center so if you need it to be just lower than center you will find yourself having to cut the Banjo and re-drilling the screw hole.Other than that I have enjoyed this lathe.

Awesome little lathe. Just make sure to bolt it to a work bench
Rylee Torphy (verified owner) –
Simple assembly and operation. Functions extremely well, heavy enough to be stable on counter without attaching, but easily portable. This an ideal lathe for small projects like pen making.

Great for small turnings! Robust Construction for a mini lathe
Eliza Walsh (verified owner) –
I found it is to use for my first experience with wood turning.
Pat Frami (verified owner) –
My husband and son areLoving this new project piece of equipment and it doesn’t break the bank for the wood turning starter.

Solid, well built. Seems to be durable.

I run a 24×36 for most of my woodworking projects and picked the Wen up on a whim. It has turned out to be a little gem. I’m doing all sorts of mini-projects on it that I would have passed up because of the time needed to fool with the bigger lathe. This is just fine for small vases, boxes, bowls, spindle work and so forth. Great for finishing on, too. Much more useful and better than I thought it would be for the price.

My wife bought me this lathe for our anniversary. I was worried it might not have enough power but I have been pleasantly surprised. I have done many small projects such as Christmas tree ornaments and small lidded boxes. It has never bogged down. I was worried about the delay when you turn it on but then realized it was made that way. I am very pleased with it.

Good beginner lathe. Have turned small bowls and pens. Performs as expected.
Keshawn Metz (verified owner) –
Definitely a good lathe. for 160 bucks you get a very usable machine. Only complaint is the drive center is pretty poor quality and needs to be replaced with a more high quality one.

Haven’t used it yet. It is a Christmas present
Juwan Watsica (verified owner) –
It works great! I am so addicted to playing around on it! The only feature I am bummed by is the tailstock’s extension. Turning the knob to dig the tool in is often a miss. But I do love this lathe, and the price was pretty good.
Adeline Corwin (verified owner) –
Works good – great price – good speed control – quiet and vibration free. Easy to work with once you work out the quirks.
Lura Dibbert (verified owner) –
Love the machine great performance. Would like more accessories thought to hook other items like a chuck for wide or metal objects.

Great mini lathe for the small wood hobby i do ang small projects i create
Margret Lebsack (verified owner) –
The lathe worked pretty much as expected with the exception of overall power. This was the second tabletop lathe I’ve owned. This one isn’t as powerful as the first I bought, but it works ok
Hailee Reichert (verified owner) –
Easy assembly and works great. Can’t beat the price.
