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.

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

I purchased the Wen wood lathe to make small wooden hammers and gavels and it meets my expectations. The features I like is the small portable size and weight so I can set it up on the bench and when I’m done using it I can store it away. So far I have no dislikes about it. It performs all the tasks I wanted in a small lathe. I’ve had it for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

Great small lathe for the money. Been using it for a month with no issues. Accepts standard accessories. The cast iron base is heavy enough that I haven’t needed to bolt it to my workbench yet.

Lasted for about a week and then what ever drives the main piece started to slip. Motor will turn and make noise but you can put pressure to any wood mounted on the lathe or it just stops.

This is an excellent machine for a newbie woodturner. The price is reasonable and it is a solid package.
