Mini Lathe Extended Thick And Wide Holder Easy To Work With Long Pieces Of Wood Thicker Steel Plate Sturdy And Durable

This is a good little machine, and fairly precise, but you will want to have a steady hand for some operations. Very versatile. I used it to make a couple small-scale prototypes out of plexiglass and wood.

Came quickly and was as described.. But I have no idea if it works properly as it was a gift and I never used it.

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.

This is an amazing product small and strong it have a a multiple variable speed .. max diameter of wood is 2".. you might need some lock tight on thw screws it might become loose when working so highly recommended to put one in..

Just know it is very small. We use it to make pens… it works great! The saw attachment is a bit schechy …but for the price and functionality it’s great. Just keep in mind the size.

Metal legs that bolt to tablebroke after less than two hours use. Only used to shape cork for fishing rod grips. Lathe cheaply made. Not worth purchasing.

As a custom ring maker, I've been using micro-lathes for over 5 years and can confidently recommend them for this application. Their compact size allows them to fit within a dust collection hood, which is ideal for indoor use when working conditions aren't ideal in your shop. This particular model impressed me with the abundance of usable accessories specifically suited for ring making.For example, the extended bed length provides more working space for holding the ring mandrel and manipulating the ring stock. Additionally, the stabilizing feet make a world of difference in terms of stability – a must-have feature for precision work like rings where even slight movement can affect the outcome. Overall, the extended functionality and improved stability make this lathe a worthwhile investment that should last for many years to come, just like my previous one.

I like that it’s small but the only way we can get it to function is remove the pin and hold a hack saw above to cut thru. Hmm. Super bummed.
