This is a somewhat hard to find product, and some say that information on these is lacking. Well, if that could be the case, then the reason for that being is that the excellent quality of the Woodtek 10" midi lathe is a very well kept secret. Mine at least ran flawless from the get-go and has run several hours a day, most days of the week, for about half a year now, without a hiccup.It has a heavy cast iron body and remains immobile with no need of having to bolt it down to the tabletop to keep it steady. It runs super quiet, though compared to other power tools I think lathes tend be like that overall, and it I can turn comfortably without having to worry about my ears being any worse off in my old age than they would be otherwise.This lathe has an air of wholesome quality to it, with pleasant roundness and colors that are both vibrant and easy on the eyes. Aesthetics wise, it is a much more satisfying machine sharing with the uninspiring industrial-chic so common nowadays only the qualities of ruggedness and durability, with none of the harsh lines.The only piece of plastic obvious on this machine is the start switch which isn't terribly thin and given the gentle, caressing amount of force one needs to flip it, I don't really see a reason for this ever being a problem. I suppose the lever that locks the other lever for engaging the motor to the pulley system is plastic, as well as the knob to the pulley access hatch but neither have ever been a problem for that. All is sturdy, well aligned, and easy working. If I may say, the knob has a spring attached to return its associated door to the closed position and it requires a relatively clean jerking motion to open it. That is very fine and nice, but I myself am short of table space and in these cramped conditions I find myself banging my hand into the neighboring drill press more often than I'd like and I wish the spring were a touch lighter weight.It has a 1/2 horsepower motor and having been in a woodshop with a full sized lathe I was surprised to find that they had this in common. Perhaps a bit under-powered for a full sized lathe apt for larger turnings but in this midi sized one at least you should have no trouble with anything that'll fit on your lathebed.It has a six speed pulley system and all six are useful to have. I find myself using to second to highest speed most often since it's about as fast as it can go before sandpaper starts leaving deep scratches almost as soon as you touch your work.It came with a cup live center and a spur center as well as with a ramrod and everything pictured.It has basically everything you could want in a lathe this size, being a robust and capable machine, and at three hundred dollars I do think that it has the potential to become the most ubiquitous tabletop lathe in America. All it needs is a TV ad.

I am very pleased with lathe. The lathe was exactly as described, and was delivered very quickly. I turn pens, as well as a variety of "experimental" turning projects. If an item is wood, and fits on this lathe, it gets turned. From firewood, to broken pool cues this lathe can handle it. Excellent machine. The only thing better than a Woodtek 143009 lathe, is two Woodtek 143009 lathes.

I chose this because of the positive reviews and I now agree with them. My only issue is probably a no issue. When moving the belt to another level you loosen the motor clamp. There is very little play in this movement because the belt seems a little on the small side but I'm sure it was designed that way and once you get the hang of it it all goes fast.

Woodtek was on the ball with fast shipping. They goofed on filling the order, though. A phone call cleared up the error; the ad said extra chuck included. the manager was professional and agreeable. The chuck was sent out post haste!Thanks woodtekThe lathe is really nice quality. Form fit and function and appearance. Really nice.

Awesome little lathe for the money. You'll be happy with your purchase - great for pens and small stuff.

This product is very dependable, very user friendly and very good quality. I recommend this product to someone looking for this type product.

Great lathe, solid construction, runs smoothly......

Wonderful Little Lathe!
