So far going through this lathe I have been impressed. There are so many bad reviews on China lathes I was expecting a real project. I am guessing that this model was a little more $ and that got a little better quality. Not half the issues seen on the internet. Also like the longer bed. Never going to need it, but it's longer than friends, so I win there.

I bought this lathe to do pen turning and other small projects. So far its been a great machine. It does not come with a thread dial indicator finding accessories and upgrades is fairly easy contact littlemachineshop.com they will help in finding product you need. The pens in the attached photo were made on this machine. The compound rest makes cutting the tapers easy. Wood turning cutters for this lathe well you could adapt some carbide cutters but I made my own with hardened steel on a bench grinder. Keep it clean will last forever

I did not buy mine through Amazon but have this identical lathe. Purchased a bit over a year ago to do small turning operations around the shop. Have not had any trouble with it. You will want to add some accesories for it after purchase to get maximum use out of it. I repalced the tool holder and got a 6 inch 4-jaw chuck plus an asortments of bits and collets. Working with mild steel, aluminum, and brass has been a joy and without complications. I think it is a very fair price and would buy mine again. If you get one you will have to set it up and do some minor cleaning but that is normal for all machines.

The lathe is better then what I was expecting at this price point. The extra cost to get this one with rpm display and the metal gears is worth it. The tooling it comes with is so so and unfortunately the little tool box was cracked during shipping. The only real complaint I have with this lathe is the tool post is very short in relation to the center axis of the spindle. This means that now matter what you do you can't raise a tool high enough to center it on the part you are trying to work on. To fix this you need to add about .25 of an inch under the tool post to give you enough height to adjust things properly. All in all this lathe is nice for the money and if you are looking to buy it expect that you will have to do some minor things to make it better. Writen by CC

This is a well made, heavy weight metal lathe with excellent precision. The drip tray provides an easy clean up after each day. The size is perfect for small or large projects.

Item works as described so far. One of the knobs was broken off but I'm not shipping back just because of it. Very well constructed and solid. Would've been nice to have more setup and use instructions. Over all a very nice investment. For the price I highly recommend it and will update this review as I use the item. I would certainly purchase it again.

Is exactly what you expect from a Chinese mini lathe.

Still moving into new home shop, but looks great, came weeks faster than expected. Much bigger than HF 10" version, costs less than even with 20% off coupon. It has cam tailstock rather than needing a wrench to adjust. Still have to fully unpack and get going.

Produxt is well made. It is very quickly assembled. It requires you to go through the whole lathe to make sure it is adjusted properly and all nuts and bolts are tight

It is up and running good. I have ordered parts for it to make it do what I want. I ordered this lathe because of the bed was 14" long. Thankyou for the way everything went.
