This is something to try out and play with, then give it to the kids to play with.
I believe this little lathe was sold in a kids kit back in the 80s. I could be very wrong, though.
You need a longer tool rest turned around to be closer to the wood - safer and better tool control.
Nice job.
Use for polishing rings and similar items.
Has anyone tried putting the Tool Rest, on the other way around. It looks like that might be how it was designed to install. I can't imagine turning anything larger than the throat of the lathe. (Half max diamiter "the radius") . With the way it is set up you could have your tool rest at one and a half radius. Try Flipping The Tool Rest Around.
I reworked one of mine...You can see it in my latest video...I may do a video on just that in my next video.
Are you an idiot?
Did you get that from fisher-price?
So you wasted your money on this piece of crap so you could make another piece of crap?
@@philiprush2462This costs £30. For a model maker or child it’s perfect.
get your tool rest closer to your work
good job!👍
Thanks!
Would this be able to handle turning wooden yoyos (walnut, oak)? Would be turning already made puck blanks from a hole saw and use this to shape it, pucks around 60mm max.
I bought one similar to this
maybe you know how to remove the chuck from this device?

Chuck, excellent review! May I ask, where did you find your lathe tools? These would be an ideal size for those of us with small hands. Thanks!
Sorry it's taking so long to get back to you. The tools I used are for wood carving. They are Pfeil Swiss made. Not cheap but worth the money. I get them from www.woodcraft.com
I saw where someone used a #2 Phillips but on the live end and made a different proper tool rest from some right angle aluminum.
Hi Chuck I have this lathe what are you using at the chuck end to hold the wood, is it that mandrel that was included. Great video thank you. 😃
Yes, it is
That's just frustrating to watch. I'm sure it's even more frustrating for you to operate it.
Carving chisels are not useful for wood turning. You need real wood turning chisels.
Save your money I got this and it was pure shit. I returned yesterday. No power soon as you put the chisel to it the motor stops. Barely has power to turn and screeches like a screaming cat. Get a real one. This piece of shit will make you never wanna wood turn again.
So you wasted your money on this piece of crap so you could make another piece of crap?
