Review: muito bom para madeira
Review: I'm not sure where the previous reviewer said it can only turn a piece that is only 3 inches, the unit that I received is capable of turning a piece that is 4-3/4" long. Perhaps he didn't think to adjust the location of the head and tailstock along the bed. Although the description says that you can do threading on this machine, you absolutely cannot, without some dramatic modifications; there is no lead screw, as just a beginning. A CNC lathe? Not out-of-the-box it isn't. This metal lathe suites my purposes just fine for finer turning work than I can do on my Atlas engine lathe. For hobby work, it is suitable for model railroading. The instructions are absolutely useless. I plan on modifying it for adding some more usefulness; one of the virtues of a lathe. I have not experienced the motor overloading, when turning aluminum, that others have complained about. The cross-slide assembly has more slop than I want, shimming is in the works as well as machining a better method of joining the assembly to the bed. In terms of price, it is much less expensive than my Atlas was, but I can use it on my desk to turn a few spur-of-the-moment parts that my Atlas is too large to turn efficiently. If you need to turn a few small parts, as one-offs or to use for making a mold, then this is just fine. With a little thinking and a couple of 2" extrusions, you can use this for turning wood or plastic parts, just less than 6" in diameter. All you have to do is look, unscrew a few pieces and think about it. It's not that difficult people. While it is not what it is claimed to be in the advertising, it is still useful. REVISION: While this lathe was okay with softwood and plastic rod, for a model railroading task, it is a major fail at metal. I picked up some brass rod at my local hobby shop. This lathe was terrible at trying to simply perform a cut-off with. Cut angle checked, cutting blade shimmed appropriately, purchased an adjustable power supply to slow it down, but there is simply too much flex in this unit to do any metal working.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have a quick change tool post holder for this mini lathe?**
A: I'd just make something

**Q: Will 1/2” mandrel fit in chuck?**
A: In to the chuck body for about 1/2" and the protruding jaws will hold. Where the spindle shaft screws into the chuck it tapers down to about .400"

**Q: can the bed be extended**
A: BOTH the Head end (motor and head chuck) and the Tailstock (center holder) can be moved along the bed to INCREASE the work area out to 160mm. Loosen the 4 Philips head screws on the rear of both the head and tailstock slightly and both with slide on the bed to extend the work area.

**Q: Can this cut copper for jewelry like rings?**
A: No it's too cheap and small. That's what I bought mine for and even after I modified it to where I thought it would work, it still didn't work. Sorry. Good luck on your search. Best bet most likely is to buy the one from harbor freight honestly. That is what I'm working on doing myself.

Great for tiny masterpieces. Not for big works, but just for what is needed for me.
