Lathes


1.		PSI TCLPROVS Turncrafter Pro VS Variable Speed Wood Lathe from PSI Woodworking Price: $246.40 Customer Review: 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... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		JET JML 1014VSI 10-Inch-by-14-Inch Variable Speed Indexing Mini Lathe from JET Price: Too low to display Customer Review: Impressive little lathe. I bought mine about a year and a half ago, (March 2008) and I've been using it almost daily ever since. I love the way that its so quiet. I also have a Shop Smith Mark V and when running it in lathe mode, ( or any other) it makes so much noise that you can't hear anything... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		JET JML 1014I 10 Inch X 14 Inch Indexing Mini Lathe from JET Price: Too low to display Customer Review: This is a truly nice piece of equipment for my use which is making fishing lures. I don't have the variable speed control which I now wish I had purchased. I would recommend you get that Jet lathe model because it will increase the projects you can do (such as painting).

4.		PSI TCLPROXB Extension Bed for PSI TCLPRO Turncrafter PRO Woodworking Lathe from PSI Woodworking Price: $42.08 Customer Review: Bought this a couple years ago and this lathe is still going strong. Great for pen and small bowl and vessel turning. Plenty of power and variable speed works great (a must have feature you won't regret paying a little more for). BTW, I considered the Jet model but found the Turncrafter had... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		PSI TCLPlus Turncrafter Plus 2.5 Amp 7-1/2-Inch Swing-by-12-1/2-Inch between Centers 1/4-Horsepower Benchtop Woodworking Lathe from PSI Woodworking Price: $163.65 Customer Review: My husband was truly surprised when he opened his new lathe on Christmas. Although he had desired one for a length of time we never looked in to purchasing one. This one is called a mini lathe, but is not mini in features and function. He made his first project yesterday out of a piece of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		JET 708359 JWL-1642EVS 16-Inch Swing 42-Inch between Centers 1-1/2 Horsepower Electronic Variable Speed Woodworking Lathe, 115-Volt 1 Phase from WMH Tool Group Price: Too low to display Customer Review: I purchased this lathe because I already had the Jet 1014 and was happy with it except that I wanted a lathe with a larget swing and variable speed. I have now been using it for three months and have no complaints; it has met all of my expectations. Delivery was prompt and the carrier... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Grizzly H2669 Hobby Lathe from Grizzly Price: $46.95 Customer Review: I bought this with pretty low expectations given the price, but after using it a few times, I think this is a good basic hobby lathe, particularly if you are short on space and don't need a high precision tool. The tool rest is easy to move around, if a bit shaky at times, and the whole thing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		PSI Woodworking LCHSS8 HSS Wood Lathe Chisel Set, 8-Piece from PSI Woodworking Price: $59.35 Customer Review: Really decent quality set. Nice handle length and a great set - especially for a starter.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		9 pc SMALL MINI LATHE 1/4" C5 CARBIDE BIT SET from Anytime Tools Price: $17.99 Customer Review: The brazed joints on the carbide is solid and shows no evidence of having voids. The carbide is well formed although a couple of pieces might need to be touched to a green wheel before you use them to achieve a good surface finish. Anyone with any experience with brazed on carbide lathe tooling... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Rockler Excelsior 5-Speed Mini Lathe from Excelsior Price: $199.99 Customer Review: Never worked a wood lathe before and I have to say the setup was easy and I started making templates for chess pieces my first day. The instruction manual was weak so I bought a wood lathe book with technique tips and instructions. Heavy, durable, and powerful, easy to use....I'll use this tool... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Jet 708376 JWL-1220 12-inch X 20-inch Wood Lathe from Jet Price: $449.00 Customer Review: This is my first lathe, I researched many other lathes and felt this would be the best value for my money. could have spent $200 less on other lathes but felt I would be sacrificing quality and would have slightly less capability. I have now turned about 10 pens and a few bowls and love this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Lathe-Metal (Mini Metal Lathe) from ToolsNow Price: $479.99 Customer Review: When I bought my unit from Amazon.com they were offering a unit distributed by ToolsNow.I downloaded the Bolton manual and found that the two distributors offer almost a carbon copy. I'm not going to review this unit, because I didn't work with it, but I take the opportunity to ask the readers... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		SHOP FOX W1752 Mini Wood Lathe from SHOP FOX Price: $224.00 Customer Review: ...especially for the price. I'm with the majority here. I think it's every bit as good as my previous Jet, and even better as it handles 15" material with ease, and with the extension bed (a must-have item, IMO) stretches it out to an unbelievable 38 inches. I checked out the welds on my tool... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		PSI Woodworking LCMINI2 Mini 5-Piece HSS Wood Lathe Chisel Turning Set from PSI Woodworking Price: $24.75 Customer Review: I am a novice wood turner and I bought these tools for the price. Though I should have expected it, these tools were very cheap quality. I've had to regrind them two to three times on centered pieces. They chip and break easily, and my bowl gouge metal actually bent because it couldn't take the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		PSI Woodworking CSC3000C Barracuda Wood Lathe Key Chuck System from PSI Woodworking Price: $168.24 Customer Review: Great chuck! I use my lath to turn pens and was using a drill press to bore holes in my blanks. When this baby showed up my quality and waste improved considerably. Must have for any lathe owner! Nice drill chuck wouldnt hurt either. Recomendation: BUY IT NOW	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		JET 708358K JWL-1442VSK 14-by-42-Inch VS PRO Wood Lathe with Legs from JET Price: Too low to display Customer Review: I spent alot of time checking out which lathe I wanted to buy in this size. Most of my woodworking stationary tools are Delta but I didn't feel that they made a comparable unit in this category. After having this for a couple of years now I can still say this is absolutely a great purchase. Speed... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		PSI Woodworking CJAWFJ2 Jumbo Flat Jaws from PSI Woodworking Price: $25.02 Customer Review: The product was delivered well before the expected delivery date and works exactly as advertised. I am very pleased with this product and look forward to many years of usage. My first project using the CJAWF12 was a success and I have already thought of new ways to use this device.

19.		SHOP FOX W1704 1/3-Horsepower Benchtop Lathe from SHOP FOX Price: $135.72 Customer Review: The price for this unit was way less then other lathes with the same features like the variable speed so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was surprised by the quality of construction and how well everything lined up. I bought it for small projects like pens or small bowls and it works great.
