  • Nice little lathe.
Style: 3.2-Amp Lathe Pattern Name: Lathe
UPDATE: 20 days in with minimal use and one of the headstock bearings has started going bad, clicking when tail stock puts minimal pressure on workpiece. Removed bearings and cleaned bad one and repacked with grease so I could try using again. It is better but still going bad. Ordered a 10 pack of better grade bearings and not going to deal with Wen. Aside from low grade bearings I am still ok with purchase from the stuff I have made and how well it turned out. Nice entry level lathe. For me as a cnc machinist this lathe is super basic which I like. No G&M codes/programs, just a wonderful tactile hobby. Within 20 minutes of box hitting my front step I had wood chips flying. Unit is solid and works as expected with only one disappointment and that is the motor being more underpowered than I expected. Not a huge issue as this is a smaller inexpensive lathe. Overall I am pleased. ... show more

  • Great for turning pens!
Style: 2022 Model Pattern Name: Lathe
I started turning pens a few years ago, but using my large lathe seemed to be a waste of electricity and unnecessary wear and tear on an expensive piece of equipment! I saw the WEN LA3421 lathe was on sale for $135 during Prime Day, so I ordered one. It was shipped via USPS and arrived a little later than the "Order now to arrive by..." date, but that was Amazon's fault. Seems like that is happening more and more :-( Anyway, the package was only a little scuffed, which surprised me since the lathe weighs about 50 pounds! After opening the box I was relieved that there was zero damage to the contents. I cleaned off the oily protective coating and then applied a coat of paste wax to the bare metal bed. Other reviewers pointed out how "rough" the tool rests are, so right away I took a flat mill file to the top edges and removed the thick layer of paint. The tool shanks now glide smoothly over the rests. My wood turning club is getting ready for a show, so I rough-turned over 100 wood pen blanks on the WEN, and was impressed how quiet and smooth running it is. I don't expect to turn anything larger than pens and bottle stoppers, so I'm happy with the power and speed range. If you plan on turning larger bowls, chair legs, etc., this is NOT the lathe for you! I wouldn't even try putting a scroll chuck on it unless it was very lightweight. At $135, I have no problem relegating this to just small items. If you're not sure you want to get into woodturning, this would be an inexpensive first lathe. One caution, though, it takes #1 Morse taper tooling (Google Morse taper #1 verses #2), so if you plan to upgrade to a larger lathe in the future, you'll probably need to buy more tooling since it will take MT2. This WEN is light enough I might take it to my son's house and teach my grandchildren how to turn! And yes, I would buy it again, even at the regular price of $170 it's at now. ... show more

  • So far, so good
Style: 3.2-Amp Lathe Pattern Name: Lathe
I bought this lathe as an entry level tool to start making pens with. I was drawn to the variable speed controller, which is unusual for an entry level machine, so I pulled the trigger and ordered it. Setup was easy, and it has proven to be a very capable machine for small items like pens, salt and pepper shakers, and projects of that size. You won't be doing any salad bowls or vases with this little guy. But within it's limitations, it is a very good tool. The tail stock is a bit limited in it's precision, and that is the biggest weakness that I have found so far, and it's not that big a deal. The action is smooth, the ways seem flat and parallel, and the variable speed control is a delight to use. I do wish it had a speed readout, but that is really nit picking here. If you are new to wood turning or want to do small projects without a huge investment, this is a worthy purchase. Just remember to work within it's limitations. I'd have no reservations recommending this machine. Jeff Carson City, NV ... show more

  • Great tool
Style: 2022 Model Pattern Name: Lathe
I bought this for my 15 year old son. He had some interest in working on things. He’s really enjoyed it and made his Christmas presents on it this year. He has mainly made small things like Christmas ornaments, game pieces and pens on it. We’ve now bought the chuck attachment for bowls but haven’t tried it yet. Very happy with this as a good beginner lathe. ... show more

  • Good first lathe
Style: 2022 Model Pattern Name: Lathe
It’s a really solid first lathe for entry into the craft. One of the pins did fall out of the tightening handle but it was a very easy fix. I’ve already turned dozens of things and it runs great. The variable power knob makes it super easy to adjust speed. Some people will tell you a display for rpms is a must have. It’s not. Speed is a feel thing, finding the max speed for minimal wobble for odd shaped pieces. I love it and so far Wen hasn’t let me down. ... show more

  • One year later review: Great for a first lathe
Style: 3.2-Amp Lathe Pattern Name: Lathe
The media could not be loaded. This is an ideal lathe for a beginner. Yes, the reviews are right- the motor stalls on aggressive cuts. I'm a beginner and that's why I decided to buy THIS lathe. Aggressive/bad cuts happen when learning this skill. I found it was much safer to have the motor stall on me rather than have a bad catch or a tool ripped out of my hand! I did buy the additional 4" chuck that makes life easier. It was about another $50. (See attached picture) 1-year later And it's been just over a year since I bought this lathe. It's not a lathe built to last. The metal is soft so the tighteners have rounded quite a bit. And the 'knockout rod' completely broke. But we're adaptable tinkerers and we find a way. I use a 5/16 wrench to tighten the tool rest down. I also found a metal rod in a similar diameter to the broken 'knockout rod' that was provided. The lathe also started to rust very early after purchase even covered with a canvas tarp. But rust can be managed. I recommend this lathe to any beginner. It's great for your starter needs. You'll want to upgrade to other lathes if you stick with wood turning. Have fun creating! ... show more
