Great lathe

Very happy with my purchase. This is my first lathe. I bought it to turn pens and other small projects. So far I have had no issues.

Santa Claus come to town!

I've always wanted a mini lathe and this year, Santa was good to me! Seriously, I did as much research as those of you who are reading this review. This model was at the top of almost all lists. It took no time to set up and start turning. I've been putting it through the ringer and it has been a blast to use! The variable speed make a HUGE difference. According to all I have read, I'm looking forward to having this for years to come. My wife ordered and said the customer service and delivery went perfect.
