Wood Lathe Mini Lathe Machine Multi-Purpose Type Lathe Milling Cutting Grinding Polishing Professional Table Top Lathe Tool Kit

I bought this with the idea that I would turn bridge pins for my guitars on it.Ordered it and found it on my door step the next day. Wow Amazon!Unpacking it showed no surprises. Well packaged. Quite a few odds and ends were included for sanding, shaping, and turning. It comes with a chuck that will open to 9/32”. The manual is actually very good for these type of import small tools. Useful information with numerous pictures. Very thorough.Everything went together as shown. I was impressed by how well things slid together. The little tail stock glides nicely as does the tool rest. I read complaints about the tool rest not being able to be set close enough to the stock. I found switching the cinch bolt to the opposite side solves this problem.Turning on it is another thing. Motor speed is set on the power supply. Mine would not spin on the lowest setting. Next one up it worked fine. It spins pretty fast so develop a light hand. The tool that was included was ok to play with but I have a small set of tools that worked much better. Overall this is meant for small items like finials or bridge pins or… but it does work and works pretty well.

I bought this lathe to replace one I had that was not working too well. I really like this machine! It is easy to setup and comes with all the tools you need to use it as well as some very nice items such as a saw blade. I have used it several times and it tracks well and the piece is easy to work. It does not, however, come with the standard curing tools although it has a tool that can be used in a limited fashion. It does have some tools for making round objects much easier than with standard tools. The only complaint I gave is that the screw to tighten the tool rest is in a position such that you cannot undo it when you have a piece mounted. If you know this you can preposition it. However, if you have a piece longer than the tool rest it is difficult to move. I still like this lathe and would purchase it again if I need another one.

Pros: Inexpensive, and in most cases the motor does workCons: The feet slide/turn and it constantly unscrews itself at the tailstock (I tried using a wrench to hold it), causing a wobbly mess that drops what you are working on. I was trying to carve basswood and it could barely handle that. Wouldn't recommend.

Very cool for small diy project's, very easy to use doesn’t make to much noise and looks good quality

Great little unit. Had to make longer tool holder. But has plenty of power. You will want to mount on something. Fun to use. Great price.

Bought this for my 13 year old son to make duck calls with. Worked great for the first 45 mins on the second speed. Then disaster struck and pieces went flying. Bearings flew out of the cone and the cone went across the shop.

This is the 2nd 1 we bought! Hubby loves using it. Thus the reason for 2nd 1!

Very cheaply made and very small. Low voltage adapter and very slow rpm. This is not what I expected.
