Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Review Turning is great fun--try it once, and you'll be hooked. This is the perfect lathe to feed your need to turn. Durable cast-iron construction houses a powerful 1/2-horsepower motor with access to six speeds from 500 to 3,700 rpm for a variety of materials. This Midi-Lathe offers a 14-1/2-inch distance between centers, which is perfect for smaller projects such as pens, candlesticks, bowls, and other vessels--but buy the bed extension accessory and you've got yourself a full-size lathe for turning objects as long as 37 inches. Even without the accessory, you get a 3-inch faceplate and a 6-inch cast-iron tool rest. This lathe is a great way for the home woodworker to get into turning--and the nice part is, it's the only lathe you'll ever need to buy. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
