User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used in making wood turned pens
Answer:	It comes with the pieces to be able to perform all the functions that it displays, yes, however the size is on such a small scale that you are putting way more effort into trying to use this than you are getting out of it. This wasn't good for anything that I purchased it for, and isn't adaptable to larger scale pieces. Doesn't have a lot of power at all to perform any of the 'tasks' it boasts to accommodate.
Question:	can the chuck take 1/4 inch metal rod
Answer:	Don't buy from this company. The lathe they sent was very poorly made and we had an awful time returning it. Amazon had to get involved.
Question:	Is the chuck removable and if so, what is the diameter of the drive shaft
Answer:	It came with 1 tool
Question:	How is this machine cnc? is there a data port or card slot
Answer:	No, it doesn't. Actually I returned it unopened after buying it for this very reason. They were very understanding and refunded the full amount. As the description says it works well with "Plastic and Wood" but not metal.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this fit wen model 3470 lathe
Answer:	Yes. I bought that same size Central Machine Lathe at Harbor Freight and ordered this chuck and it works great.
Question:	Will this work on a jet jwl-1015vs 10'' x 15'' variable speed wood lathe
Answer:	Yes. That's what I'm currently using it on. Works very well for bowls. If you're turning longer pieces it's about 4in wide. So it reduces the length of the piece you can turn a fair amount. But I really like it. Works very well.
Question:	Will this work with Central machinery 12 x 33 3/8 wood lathe
Answer:	I don’t know—-that usually requires a diamond drill bit

User questions & answers

Question:	Do i need to have a high speed bench grinder or slow speed

Question:	What type of grinding wheel should I use to sharpen these chisels, being made with M2 High Speed Steel
Answer:	For scrapers and gouges, I use a belt sander. For skews and bedans I use a wet stone grinder. I use a polishing wheel with emery compound to hone all my blades between sharpenings.
Question:	Are these "Benjamins Best" (as recommended by Wood Magazine)? Description doesn't say
Answer:	My set has "Benjamins Best" stamped right on the handles.

Question:	Is a pen mandrel included with lathe purchase
Answer:	It comes with a collet type mandrel. This is a very lightweight lathe with lots of speed, but not much torque. I found it a bit under powered. Suitable for most woods, but not for acrylics. This is not my primary lathe, but one that I can easily take when we are traveling in our motor home.
