Reviewing Amazon's Budget-Friendly Mini Wood Lathe

[@Its_Me_Wheelz]

This is something to try out and play with, then give it to the kids to play with. I believe this little lathe was sold in a kids kit back in the 80s. I could be very wrong, though.

You need a longer tool rest turned around to be closer to the wood - safer and better tool control.

[@amphibiousone7972]

Has anyone tried putting the Tool Rest, on the other way around. It looks like that might be how it was designed to install. I can't imagine turning anything larger than the throat of the lathe. (Half max diamiter "the radius") . With the way it is set up you could have your tool rest at one and a half radius. Try Flipping The Tool Rest Around.

I reworked one of mine...You can see it in my latest video...I may do a video on just that in my next video.

Are you an idiot?

[@philiprush2462]

Did you get that from fisher-price?

[@philiprush2462]

So you wasted your money on this piece of crap so you could make another piece of crap?

[@smoll.miniatures]

@@philiprush2462This costs £30. For a model maker or child it’s perfect.

Nice job.

Would this be able to handle turning wooden yoyos (walnut, oak)? Would be turning already made puck blanks from a hole saw and use this to shape it, pucks around 60mm max.

Hi Chuck I have this lathe what are you using at the chuck end to hold the wood, is it that mandrel that was included. Great video thank you. 😃

[@ChucksMagic]

Yes, it is

[@cindypetersen-harper8472]

Chuck, excellent review! May I ask, where did you find your lathe tools? These would be an ideal size for those of us with small hands. Thanks!

[@ChucksMagic]

Sorry it's taking so long to get back to you. The tools I used are for wood carving. They are Pfeil Swiss made. Not cheap but worth the money. I get them from www.woodcraft.com

[@norm5785]

I saw where someone used a #2 Phillips but on the live end and made a different proper tool rest from some right angle aluminum.

[@yongyaowu2076]

good job!👍

[@ChucksMagic]

Thanks!

[@norm5785]

Use for polishing rings and similar items.

Qual a voltagem de Entrada do eliminador

[@maxzacharin57]

maybe you know how to remove the chuck from this device?

[@NuteIlaTaco]

I bought one similar to this

[@coleyounger6758]

get your tool rest closer to your work

[@marinabrennecke5495]

Carving chisels are not useful for wood turning. You need real wood turning chisels.

[@spacejihadist4246]

That's just frustrating to watch. I'm sure it's even more frustrating for you to operate it.

[@kknows3512]

This guy is hopeless!

[@GunninWizard]

Save your money I got this and it was pure shit. I returned yesterday. No power soon as you put the chisel to it the motor stops. Barely has power to turn and screeches like a screaming cat. Get a real one. This piece of shit will make you never wanna wood turn again.
