## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for a brand new beginner - be prepared to upgrade quickly
*by C***E on May 19, 2025*

This was my first lathe, I had been interested in woodturning for a while but didn't want to drop several hundred on a nicer lathe if I wasn't going to stick with the hobby.This is a good entry level machine for someone who wants to try it out but isn't sure if they want to fully commit. If you're OK being limited to small projects for a bit, this lathe is fine. But I would caution against buying a bunch of accessories for it, the MT1 taper is uncommon and you will not be able to use these accessories on other lathes if/when you upgrade. I turned some pens on this lathe and considered keeping it just for that purpose after I upgraded to a larger lathe but I got rid of it because once you start turning on a really decent lathe, this one seems like trash. In all, I turned on this lathe for like 2 months before outgrowing it - bear this in mind, if you think you're going to like the hobby, just spend that money on a real lathe.Pros- Price- Works as advertised- Good option for someone who is just wanting to see if they like woodturningCons- MT1 is uncommon and largely not available in accessories- Size of the tool rest base is also uncommon, so you can't buy replacement tool rests- Turning mechanism on the tailstock is trash- Tightening down the tailstock doesn't do much to keep it in place- Doesn't offer lower speed RPMS- Tailstock doesn't slide off at all if you want more clearance when turning unsupported- Small swing, can't turn much larger than maybe 6" realistically- Lightweight... comparatively

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it
*by K***I on May 11, 2025*

I'm so glad I bought this lathe. I previously owned a HF 10 x 18 lathe but it only had 5 set speeds. The variable speed on the Wen is a great feature. It really allows you to dial in your speed to get the best cut. I've used it probably 10 times so far and it has performed flawlessly every time. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to start wood turning as a hobby

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent bargain for new turners
*by A***T on January 26, 2025*

I used to love lathework back in middle school, 20 years ago, always told myself I would get one one day. Finally decided to for my ship modeling hobby, but boy the "good" ones are quite an investment required.That's when I found this model. Built in variable speed, MT1 (mortise taper 1") or 1x8tpi chucking, and at a third the cost of a comparable jet? Since it's been a long time, I decided to start small with this machine.It surprised me with its versatility. I bought it with the drill chuck, knowing I would start with pens, and so far, I'm having a great time. Easy to set up, but make sure to buy 8mmx1.25 machine screws for mounting (from the bottom).My cautions towards those looking at lathes. 1: there is not an easy way to access the belt for the inevitable replacement. I have not tried yet. 2: the lathe itself is only one of many investments you will need to make to begin your hobby. 3: this lathe struggles with anything over 5" diameter. The bowl i show started as a 5" x 3" round red oak, and it was tough going at first.Chisels: buy middling ones until you learn how to sharpen correctly. You will need a bench grinder if you opt for the high speed steel chisels, and learn how to sharpen. You will need pen just and a pen mandrel if you want to make pens, and you will need 4-jaw chucks if you want to make bowls. This kit only comes with a live center and a flat faceplate, which I'm using in the picture above.All in all, this is a GREAT buy if you are just getting in to, or returning to the hobby.
