  • Perfect for RV Living!
I travel a lot and wanted something that would be light, precise, and very functional. This is it! Amazing precision from extruded aluminum. It has about .020 worth of play in tailstock side, but you can compensate my checking center. The motor doesn't have a lot of grunt as it is direct drive, the head being the end of the AC Motor shaft. Yet, you just compensate again and you are fine. Weighs only 15 lbs, so it's pretty hard to complain. Very fair compromise. The digital speed control is wonderful and works very well. One of my concerns is I didn't have space for drill press, band saw, etc in my 5th wheel. Now worries! Go to PSI website and purchase the PenPal 2-jaw check/MT #1 drill chuck and you are set. I mark my blanks with a Sharpie and just hold a hacksaw to cut my blanks. Works fine. I would highly recommend if weight or space is a concern. ... show more

  • DOES NOT WORK‼️REPLACEMENT UNAVAILABLE ‼️
I bought this for my grandson for his birthday and he was so excited, but when we plugged it in it refuses to work, and when I wanted to get a replacement, it was unavailable and not to be available in the near future if ever I am very upset about this as it has upset my grandson I feel that maybe I was sent a inferior and damage product and I am not happy. Thank you and have a good day. ... show more

  • Customer service is out of this world
I used this to drill pen blanks for a few weeks, and during that time, misplaced the collet collar. Called their support line today to see about buying a new one and was told they’d ship one as warranty, even after I explained that it was my fault, the tool is working great. Can’t ask for better than that. ... show more

  • Perfect lathe for pen turning.
Great little lathe. Don't expect to turn large bowls on this unit. As it stands now, I would purchase this same lathe if it was to burn out for some reason. I'm a new pen turner and this lathe is one of the reasons that I have invested another $400 in pen turning supplies!! I'm addicted!!

  • Not what I ordered
Received this product late to start which is understandable because of weather however I did not order a used product. This product showed up used with half the parts. We went to plug it in an it didnt work. Very disappointed because my man was super excited to get this. The company didnt even inspect the box when returned. VERY UNHAPPY! ... show more
