Mini Lathe Mini Torno Wood Lathe Machine Multi-Purpose Type Extended Processing Diameter 2.5 Inche, Processing Length 7.5 Inche Support for Drilling Torno

Doesn't have all parts needed to turn pen blanks.

This machine is woefully underpowered and very poorly assembled. There is wobble and in-out slop on the headstock, and the tailstock has very limited travel. can't even drill all the way through a 2.25 inch pen blank without flipping it. It works fine if all you're going to do is sand and polish. But for actual wood turning, fork over the extra $100 or so and get an actual lathe (like an 8 x 12 inch). It will save you a lot of frustration, believe me.

Came with a Crappy Chuck.

Extremely pleased with this mini lathe. It took just a short time to become familiar with all of its functions. I am in the process of making small decorative objects.

This little lathe is awesome! I honestly didn't think it would be so well made but was surprised. I've used it the better part of the day with zero problems. Instructions are good and readable. Although you do have to remove a couple motor mount screws to be able to attach the two rear feet but that wasn't hard to figure out or hard to do. It's solid made and feels heavy duty and has enough weight that it doesn't vibrate everywhere up to around 2000 rpm. Compact size. And a great price.
