Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Larger than expected.
We purchased this for my dad whose hobby is to make pens. It was much larger than we expected, but my dad is totally enjoying it. He can even do larger things now if he chooses. The box was slightly crumpled when we got it, but I attribute that to it being so heavy. It was not damaged, and made a great gift!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Looked nice, but weak motor and problematic switch on the VS unit
I bought this lathe because most of the reviews were good, and it looked solid. Today, only after a few hours of use, maybe three or four, the motor refused to start. Flicking the switch a few times sometimes gets it going, but otherwise it's an 88 pound paper weight. While it was working I was unimpressed, the motor bogged down with little effort on any stock that was larger than a few inches in diameter. I've emailed PSI, and I'm waiting for a response to see if they can get it going again. I'll ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - very pleased with lathe
I'm very pleased with the lathe.just got it today and set it up as fast as i could get the box open.to my surprise nothing was broken and set-up went smooth,just had one part extra,I'm sure I'll find a use for the extra part later(chrome piece with a screw going through it 3in. long?).a few paint chips but nothing was bent or broken and all my adjustment knobs where alright as the other reviews had said their adjustment knobs where broken.one surprise was they sent a set of goggles, i was not expecting ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm liking it a lot
I'm not too easy to please - and I'll return anything that isn't exactly right for me (one reason I like dealing with Amazon) This lathe has passed the test as a 'keeper' -- I've had it about a month, turned about 10 different things - mostly smallish diameter (pens, handles, etc) but the power, the speed adjustability, smoothness of operation are all great. I'm just back to order the extension table so I can do even more with it.
Quite a good value, I'd say.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Didn't last long
I bought this lathe to learn the basics of turning, and to make some small projects. At first it performed fairly admirably considering the price. I turned a bunch of soup stirrers and some small spindles for various projects. The lathe worked smoothly. I had to do a small amount of filing to get the extension bed to fit to the main body, and more filing and sanding to get the tailstock to actually slide onto the extension. So the machining left something to be desired. Still, I felt I was getting ... Read More
