  • Exactly what was expected
This thing is exactly what I was looking for and it didn't disappoint in the least. Plenty of torque for my purposes, good adjustability and speed range, and not too loud so as to upset the neighbors right across the sidewalk (I think). Also very fun and satisfying to use. I use it for making rings. I have some carbide-tipped hand tools and I have no issues shaping down square ring blanks (which are only 1" in width max) of any hardness, and even soft metals like silver can easily be shaved down a bit. I'm sure it would also be great for pen making, though it does struggle a bit if you need to do very hard woods -- if you were to do an entire (say 5") very hard pen blank it would likely take longer and might wear down the motor a bit (maybe take breaks?) but you could still easily get the job done if you go slow. So far it's been in use for a couple of months on and off, getting used at least once a week for a few hours up to 3 times a week, say 4 hours each. I've had no issues with it. The only thing I will say that could be better is the tailstock -- it is pretty jiggly and when it's not secured with the thumbscrews it's pretty much useless. I thought I could use it for drilling but that's a no-go. Maybe if you're doing very soft wood it wouldn't be an issue but it just wiggles too much for drilling anything I tried. Other than that it's fine for securing your piece for turning. I don't have a decibel meter but I would say the noise level at max speed is on par with a small handheld vacuum. If it is too loud you can always lower the speed from 6 to about 4 and that dramatically reduces the noise. I work out of a garage that's right across a sidewalk from apartment complexes and I feel comfortable running this thing without disturbing anyone. I would say I could even run it late at night on 3-4 and have no issues. Note that in my garage there's a gap between the roof and wall so any noise basically goes right through to the other side. Overall this is a great purchase, honestly one of the best I've made and I don't regret it in the least. Exactly what I needed and I don't see myself replacing it until it breaks. ... show more

  • Good Machine
During the holidays I was looking for miniature wooden ornaments, and I kept thinking if I had a lathe I could make my own. I considered a lot of different models, but I passed over this one because frankly I had never heard of this brand. I'm glad I came back to it though, because it is perfect for small objects. It's also compact, packaged in a box measuring about 20x6x4 inches, which is great for me because I really don't want to leave it in the garage all summer. The lathe is well made (in Belgium!) and runs smoothly, but there's still some room for improvement. I knew absolutely nothing about woodturning, and the entire operating instructions take up just two columns in the booklet. The wording can also be confusing, such as when it refers to the same part as a "check key" in one place and a "centring (sic) key" in another. It also refers to a "knurled screw" on the tool rest, when it actually just has a plastic knob. Speaking of the tool rest, that knob can get in the way of your chisel, and as someone else said, it's only 2 3/8" in length, which means you have to stop and slide it over sometimes. The fact that this lathe comes from Europe may explain why the collet chucks are oddly sized: 5/64, 7/64, 5/32, 15/64, 5/16, and 13/32. Those are close to U.S. dowel sizes, but if you want to turn a 3/16 or 1/4 inch dowel, the chucks won't hold them. A "drive spike" is included for dowels that are too large for the chucks, but you have to use the 13/32" collet to hold it in the drive spindle, which isn't mentioned anywhere in the instructions. I have put the lathe away for now and placed an order for the Proxxon three jaw chuck, which is supposed to work with dowels anywhere from 1/16 to around 1 inch thick, but that's more money that I wasn't planning to spend. Along those lines, if you're like me and just starting out, you'll also need chisels. I bought the Proxxon set, and even though they're made in China they seem to work well, especially on the birch dowels I've been using. I've also ordered the book "Learn to Turn," and I'm hoping that my further expenses will only be for wood, at least for a while. ... show more

  • Potential Static Discharge Issue
I bought the 3 jaw chunk along with the lathe! So far so good! I did however find a strange issue: When the machine is powered on and the headstock is close to the tool rest (about 1/4 inch) a small static discharge will occur (enough to see the spark). I wont necessarily blame the machine for this as it can be fixed with relative ease, but it is something to note if you plan on using this in an ESD sensitive area. ... show more

  • Poor tool rest and tailstock.
I've recently purchased this lathe and was very happy with it when I first received it however the flimsy tailstock and tool rest screws quickly became stripped with just moderate amount of torque to them. This proxxon lathe could have been the ideal small scale lathe if the company didn't cheap out when it came to building the tool rest and the tailstock. I am going to call the company and get them to replace the tool rest and the tailstock and then I am going to put this tool on Ebay and get rid of it for the Taig lathe. You can buy the Taig with a turners set up for a small price and the components will last a lifetime. Proxxon would have had a great product if they had not gone cheap on the tailstock and the tool rest. I am going to buy the Taig and I'm sure I'll be happy with it. The Taig has many available accessories for it also and the Proxxon does not. I wish Proxxon had done a better job with the making of the lathe and with the making of accessories for it. You can get the Taig lathe at the Lee Valley site ( Canadian site ). The Taig lathe has many available accessories that can be ordered and I think I will be much happier with it. I give it 4 stars because it would have been a truly great small lathe if Proxxon had put a little bit of effort into the materials that went into the tailstock and tool rest. Gary R. ... show more
