Description

Remember when you could turn your own table legs? Fill your house with as many table legs as you can with the WEN 12-Inch by 18-Inch 5-Speed Wood Lathe. With 5 different operating speeds, you’ll be able to turn workpieces at 520, 900, 1400, 2150, or 3400 rotations per minute. The 4.5A motor provides maximum torque while the sturdy 70+ pound build prevents walking and wobbling during operation. This beast of a lathe features an MT2 spindle and tailstock taper to tightly hold your workpieces, along with a 7-7/8-inch tool rest for chisel and tool support during operation. The easy-to-use lever clamping system makes adjustments to both the tool rest and the tailstock simple and precise. The WEN Wood Lathe also includes a headstock spur center, a tailstock cup center, a flat wrench, a knockout rod, 2 hex wrenches (3 mm and 5mm), an accessory holder, and a 3-1/8 inch faceplate for turning bowls, cups and other non- spindle workpieces. And, because its a WEN product, your lathe comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line. Remember when you could turn pens, bowls, cups, chess pieces and more? Remember WEN.

  • ¡Mejor que lo esperado! A pesar de algunos detalles, muy satisfecho con esta compra.
Style: Lathe Pattern Name: Lathe
👍Muy buena relación Costo$-Calidad. Excelente bancada en hierro fundido rectificada. Funcionamiento suave y silencioso. Porta herramientas (tiento), preciso y firme. Carro del contrapunto con frenos firmes. 😒MUY demorado el despacho: más de tres meses. Ensamble deficiente: Tornillos flojos, avance del contrapunto impreciso, Eje principal con cabeceo cercano a 1 grado. Perilla de avance del contrapunto muy pequeña. Uña de arrastre muy pequeña. Llego una tapa plástica rota. El motor esta desprotegido y se llena de viruta que impide su refrigeración, debiera tener un protector. ... show more

  • Outa the park! Awesome little wood lathe.
Style: Lathe Pattern Name: Lathe
My first wood Lathe! Not a stranger to being around a machine shop, spent some of my childhood in one. But after endless frustration with sellers of used, the last a HF 36 Inch, and adding up my gas bill to collect it, the price came out more than this little wonder. I am so, so happy with this. Really you don't need a long bed if you are new to wood turning, and if you did, this model does provide an extension option. Everything came out as intended by the makers. Amazon did a great job of delivering, Wem did a great job of making and packing, Easy instructions out of the box, on a prepared bench slot, installed the parts as directed in the hand book. And checking belt tension, test ran to enjoy this little gem whirring away like it is supposed to! Did not turn any wood on it because, late at 11 PM, disturbing neighbors is not a good idea, and I would have to run a table saw to make 9 X 3 inch square stock to round. Tomorrow. Sorry about trading a 3/4 outside edge gouge for an inside version. Never ever give up ones tools! Now just have to wait for Amazon the ship me a roughing gouge so I can really chew up some softwood. ... show more

  • The Lathe that Could
Style: Lathe Pattern Name: Lathe
A great lathe at a reasonable price. If you are thinking about getting into wood turning this is a great choice. I purchased the head stock chuck and tail drill bit chuck with this. The first time I used it the tool rest broke in half. Called customer service and they immediately sent out a replacement, no questions. Was likely just a bad casting. No problems with the new one. If there were a negative, I would say I wish it had more power for dense hard woods. For the price, it's it's more than adequate for small to medium bowl turning. I'd definitely purchase this again. ... show more

  • Quality Lathe
Style: Lathe Pattern Name: Lathe
This is a great lathe! Well built and sturdy, all the power you need. WEN customer service is helpful and professional. This lair he has a cast metal frame and is precisely machined. I have made several projects, spindles and a small bowl. I am very satisfied. This is a great value for the money.

  • Great lathe especially for the price
Style: 3424T Pattern Name: Lathe
This is my first lathe, so this review will be from a beginners perspective. I wanted to start turning pens and I know there are smaller lathes that can do that, but I figured for a little more I would have the extra length/power to do more without having to purchase a bigger lathe right away. Don't expect that the cost of the lathe is the last cost. To really do wood turning you need a lot of other tools, and this is where buying the better tools pays off. This lathe will turn wood. And that is what it is supposed to do. It is a little tricky to change speeds. The belt is still tight when you when you have the motor lifted fully. Maybe the belt will stretch a little and make it easier over time. Over all, this was an easy lathe to learn on and I have been complete satisfied with it. If I had more money to spend I can see that a variable speed lathe would probably be a time saver, but I am not ready to spend that king of money on turning pens, yet anyway. ... show more
