Mini Lathe Machine Tool DIY Woodworking Wood lathe Milling machine Grinding Polishing Beads Drill Rotary Tool Set

Gift for a friend. I peeked at it. Nice little machine for hobbys. it's small as they say so not good for any serious work. It does do what was intended.

The YWY Mini Lathe Machine Tool is a solid choice for small DIY woodworking projects. It’s compact, easy to set up, and performs well for tasks like milling, grinding, and polishing. The build quality is impressive, and it handles wood with precision, making it ideal for beginners and hobbyists alike.The only downside is the included tools, which could be of better quality. While they’re functional, upgrading to higher-quality tools would significantly enhance the overall experience.Despite this minor issue, the lathe itself works great and is an excellent value for the price. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone starting out or working on small-scale woodworking projects!

Very practical

First, throw away the tools that come with this machine - they are absolute garbage. Second, even with competent tools, this machine is dangerous. Even clamped down it will vibrate so hard at any speed that it will try to run away from you. It needs some sort of rubber feet to keep it stable and quiet. No matter how you mount the wood, due to the vibrations it quickly gets to the point that it isn’t held properly in place and the wood will go flying. All I have to say is I’m glad I’m serious about safety gear and you get what you pay for - invest in something more expensive, it will be worth it. I thought this would be a nice, small machine for working with short wood pens but now I’m just sad I didn’t get to seriously work with it until the return window closed.

This is not a CNC device. it is a very small bed with a small motor lathe.It is best for making pens, beads, and not much else and even then toss the tools provided and buy some real onesThe instructions are horrible. They do not explain any of what came with the product, so I needed to so to the description online and figure out what they were by reading the "comes with" section.The lathe came and was running at full speed and again, there was nothing i the instructions on how to slow it down. I had to read all the Q&A to find out how to reduce the speed of the lathe.The turinng "tools" provided are a joke. They are tiny, which makes sense as the lathe is as well; however, the metal the blades are made from look almost like steel package strapping that was ground on one end to look like a tool.All in all, i was able to turn a small 3" piece of cheap soft wood into a dowel after over 45 minutes of work.

The lathe itself is pretty well made, but the accessories are junk. Small hand carving knives dull very quickly, and regular lathe tools are too big. For what I do, wood hand chisels work best. I can turn pool cue ferrules to within 0.001" of what I want. It takes time. There is a learning curve. And, some aptitude is necessary.

All works, as in the description. The speed is switched on the power supply. “Stametry，as other buyers wrote，” After the first test, cut edges and bends. The pulse of the machine is good and the turbine is perfect.According to the complete set, everything is smooth. The machine itself works without complaints. The cutters are not hot and can only be used for soft wood. In the rest, everything is super, thanks for the efficiency.The machine is placed on the stool. Works quietly, smoothly. It is stable, does not walk: weight and rubber legs are enough. After unpacking immediately grabbed what was at hand, began to try. On emotions stuck without searching for the center. All ok. Cutters that are included, did not risk.Hardened them with a burner. Sharpened against the stone, replenished goi. I tried them. Brought already can and work. In general, for small crafts the most it! Purchase satisfied. I'll attach the photo.

This mini lathe requires minimal setup and does function. The low torque is going to keep you limited in what materials and sizes you can use moreso that it's compact size, but as a learning tool or for a crafter making beads and pen blanks it really is quite sufficient.What is absolutely NOT sufficient, or even safe, is the cheap tools that come with it. The moment that cheap steel chisel touched a piece of PINE shards of metal chipped off and went flying. DO NOT USE THEM. Get some harbor freight high speed steel turning tools and you'll be fine.But yeah the lathe itself does exactly what it should.
