Description
Remember when you could turn your own table legs. Fill your house with as many table legs as you can with the WEN 12 in. x 18 in. 5-Speed Wood Lathe. With 5 different operating speeds, you’ll be able to turn workpieces at 520, 900, 1400, 2150, or 3400 rotations per minute. The 4.5 Amp motor provides maximum torque while the sturdy 70 lbs. plus build prevents walking and wobbling during operation. This beast of a lathe features an MT2 spindle and tailstock taper to tightly hold your workpieces, along with a 7-7/8 in. tool rest for chisel and tool support during operation. 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 headstock spur center, a tailstock cup center, a flat wrench, a knockout rod, 2 hex wrenches (3 mm and 5mm), an accessory holder, and a 3-1/8 in. faceplate for turning bowls, cups and other non-spindle workpieces. And, because its a WEN product, your lathe comes backed by a 2-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line. Remember when you could turn pens, bowls, cups, chess pieces and more. Remember WEN.

Super easy to assemble. Just learned from WEN they will have an extension available for this model. Cant wait.
Trudie Daugherty (verified owner) –
Runs well, quiet, and plenty of power for it’s size. Motor seems to run a little on the warm side, but if one keeps an eye on it I dont see any long term issues. I have worked it hard and light, lots of bang for the buck
Rosalee Schuster (verified owner) –
Perfect. Fully assembled. Turns large logs no problem. Just need sharp tools. I have had no bogging down issues.
George Friesen (verified owner) –
Good for Starter Lathe But doesn’t have enough power for bigger bowls
Freeman Murphy (verified owner) –
Very satisfied
Melody Fritsch (verified owner) –
Not a Jet or Delta, lacks power. But this machine is well built and you can’t beat it for the money. I’ve turned a few bowls, french rolling pins and a small baseball bat so far.
Edwina Labadie (verified owner) –
It is well made for the price. You have to take the orange paint off the top of the tool rest or you’ll find it gets on your chisels. I have finished a few projects so far and I am happy with this tool so far
Johnpaul Walsh (verified owner) –
My main purpose for this lathe is a backup lathe for buffing and painting and it was a good buy.
Misty Bosco (verified owner) –
Great lathe! I’m a beginner, but this lathe will likely be all I will ever need. It is designed to take an extension so if I want to do larger projects in the future, that’s all I will need. Set up quickly and easily. Very satisfied so far.
Onie Reilly (verified owner) –
Very happy with this lathe. Would have given 5 stars if the bed were longer as I believe it has the power to turn longer pieces of wood.
Reggie Collins (verified owner) –
Very pleased with this lathe. Set up and use is a breeze. A++
Walton Kessler (verified owner) –
Basically this is a good lathe for the money. Made of cast iron, it is heavy, doesn’t wobble or jump around unless it is set too fast or you have a very uneven piece on the spindle. The motor does get hot fairly quickly. Adjusting the speed is fairly quick and easy, 4 to 5 min.

I have had the smaller Wen 6 inch lath for a year now and it has been fun to work with. I find that is a little under powered for some projects, I have to constantly restart it because of lack of power. That is why I decided to move up a notch. This one being belt driven and bigger motor has more then enough power for my projects (for now).I can see in about a year I will probably move up to a larger capacity. This one is going to be a great learning machine I have already turned a couple of 8 inch bowls with no problems. Did not even have to bolt the lathe down to the work bench like the little one. Very good intermediate lathe. Would have given it 5 stars but still getting used to changing speeds got use to the rheostat on the little one.
