They say this is not for turning pens daily but I have found that to not be true. I do think this lathe needs 2 styles of rests because the one provided is sometimes too small. Easily fixed with a piece of aluminum angle, but still. There is a level of patience required to setup the piece you want to turn. This machine is customizable to work better. For example, sometimes...but not frequently...the provided tip to hold the material is too small. Easily replace with a cut drywall screw or wood screw. You can also purchase separately an adjustable chuck, which fits inside the key chuck provided. That makes some types of turning better on this lathe. I highly recommend after using it but YouTube is lacking on videos for these. The media reviews at the time I write this review are poorly done or done by influencers that don't really try using it properly. Do not compare these to mini lathes. Mini lathes are around $200-$300 dollars and more powerful than this micro lathe.

Just know that it's for little jokes, and tighten that chuck!!

The media could not be loaded. I'm a weaver and I'm using this lathe to wind yarn onto bobbins. It has seven speeds, adjustable length and works perfectly for my needs.

It works for my particular purpose which is small handles. However, the included spur is useless I had to make my own, same for the support piece, way too small and once you place anything on the lathe, you cannot have access to the adjusting nut. I made my own piece from a Stanley bracket. The shaping tools included are useless, I would recommend the manufacturer to ditch them and include a spur and wider support piece.

This is perfect for what I do! I use it to polish rings. Made a ring mandrel using it how it was intended. Thinking about making wood rings now. Great for the price. So far so good!

Extremely limpy, it's unable to cut anything without wanting to catch due to just about everything in this machine flexing.The tool holder and tailstock are laughable at best, they cannot be easily tightened or locked down, and the tool holder height adjust bolt stripped out the second time I used it while it also being far from tight enough to lock the thing down.I understood that it was a cheap lathe when I bought it, but I at least wanted to turn a single small table leg.

Has a lot of problems, first off instructions wasn’t even in the box, then placing your chisel on the wood to start you have to very gently apply it because if you push in it like your supposed to it stops the spinning, very annoying!

This little lathe is a powerhouse and the perfect solution to restoring antique watchmaker stakes and creating replica pin punch inserts. The price was absolutely spot on. The variable speed allow control and ease of use.
