Rinky Dink lathe

This 12 x 18 wood lathe is ok for turning very small items and very balanced wood. It's built well for what it is. It's no comparison to my 1952 ShopSmith. If you want to do serious turning for not a lot of money find a used ShopSmith. My shoert description of this Wen lathe is that it is "rinky dink".

I have NOT received this item. It is apparently lost - no one seems to know for sure. I will be initiating a full refund immediately.

Tries your patience.

I used the lathe once. When I fired it up the second time, the tool rest broke. Had to order a replacement. Got the replacement turned a vase. The next time I tried to fire it up... NOTHING!!! It seems the on/off switch broke. Trying to get Wen, Walmart, or the insurance company to fix.
