Mini Lathe, WM101A-Plus Mini Wood Lathe Machine, 24VDC 96W Power Lathe, Small Benchtop Lathe with Wood Turning Lathe Tools Kits, Infinitely Variable Speed, Professional for DIY Woodworking

This is a great option for a mini lathe.

This is a miniature lathe. It is built well and solid. Being the "WM101a plus" model it comes with plenty of accessories. I have run it with wood and pewter. It works well. This is a 1 hp (not HP) motor - hamster power not horse power. When turning, take no more than a paper thin layer at a time and it will work very well. Take more and the motor stops but resumes. The lathe tools use standard size carbide blades so replacements easy to get. Again this is a miniature lathe not a mini lathe - it cost more than my Wen mini lathe but this is very convenient to move around and set up, weighing less than 10 lbs. I am pleased and impressed with it.

I've been looking for a mini lathe for a long time. All the others have the drill chuck instead of the lathe chuck. This lathe has opened up many possibilities for my jewelry making hobby and works beautifully. The only downside is, it doesn't want to turn at the very lowest speeds when trying to get a very slow spin. I kind of have to manually turn to get as slow as I need for some things. Not a deal breaker for me as the lowest working speed is fine most of the time. It's still worth buying.

Nice little lathe! I didn't buy this for turning wood I got it to drill holes in brass and it had more than enough power to do the job. When not in use it's small enough to put under a bench or on a top shelf

Works great. Purchased this to bore precision holes in solid copper rod. Excellent. Took moments to figure out. Excellent torque, great speed control. Instructions are minimal, but was easy to make work. Takes up a small space. Great value. Very solid . I admit I was surprised by how well made it is. Sturdy and somewhat heavy. Great hobby lathe. Nice!

Not what I really needed. After further research I came across a better option. I am returning this. I made the mistake before of buying on price and not what I truly needed.

Works great for inlay ring making.

It works for simple things but it is weak and can't take a lot of pressure on wood. Not good for acrilic material. I bought it to turn pens but it's not the best.

It only just arrived, but I’m immediately impressed by the quality of all of the parts. Even the shaping tools have machined aluminum handles (they looked like plastic in the photos). Amazing value overall, 10/10.

Excellent mini lathe. Solid construction. The infinite speed control is a great feature. Great for small projects, 3” x 6”.

Meets my expectation

This did not work very well for wha5 I needed.
