Great for beginners, like me. The engine could be stronger

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 woodturning Cons - 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

Tgis is a good small lather for the price. It isn't a mini-lathe in the sense of the old Dremel moto-lathes or the newer little Chinees aluminum ones, but is bigger and more heavily made. I'd call it mid-sized. It seems well made and performs well. I can find only one downside right now, and that is the motor, which is a Chinese DC unit which has low torque at the lower rpms. With that in mind it's a good buy.
