My First Lathe! Are Scheppach Tools Any Good? DM600 VARIO 550W Wood Turning Lathe Review

[@MaffuH]

THat lathe looks remarkably like the Lidl\Parkside lathe

[@BackyardBeardMan]

I'm actually not familiar with the Parkside lathe, will need to check it out, but, it might be, as they have other very similar tools, and, they are in more or less the same price range.

@@BackyardBeardMan I have not used Schepach tools but i have heard it said many times that a lot of Lidl tools are rebadged Scheppach, good for the price but also built down to a price.

@@MaffuH The Schepach tools I currently have I'm still satisfied with they do the trick for me, will see how long they last, as so far they seem a pretty good deal if the power/functions are enough (if you do not need anything more specific/more powerful)

@@MaffuH Aldi also often sells Scheppach machines under the name “Ferrex” and at Lidl it will probably be under the name “Parkside”. In the end, however, they are just re-labled Scheppach machines.

Thank you for the honest video. How satisfied are you with this lathe? I was thinking about getting this one too, but will opt for a Proxxon DB250 as I don't have much space and only have small woodworking jobs that don't require such a large machine. Unfortunately, the Proxxon is a bit more expensive.

Thank you for the comment! :) I am pretty satisfied with it, although it needs to be secured pretty well, but, overall, pretty satisfied for how much I use it. :) I picked this one up as it was just the size I needed cut/sand some table legs, not an inch bigger, as I have a really tight space, will check out the Proxxon DB250 also :)

I would suggest you do some heavy editing, your content is good, understandable and most importantly relatable but way too long, Good Luck

[@BackyardBeardMan]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I am still in the stage of figuring everything out, this is my first experience with content creation, so, I truly appreciate anyone taking the time to give honest feedback :) I am actually currently working on a new video, taking more time on editing, to make it better, just takes more time to get it out. Also, got a new microphone, so the sound is better, felt like that should be improved. In any case, I would love if you stuck around, gave me some feedback when the new video comes out, is the watching experience getting better. All the best to you, and, Thank you! :)

@@BackyardBeardMan Your doing far better than i could hope to do, but like when at school ask yourself what value does it add to the Viewer. The power cord footage was a classic example. I would suggest setting yourself a limit, say 10 mins, and keep cutting without losing the story your trying to tell, but whatever you do keep going!
