BERXOLmini wood lathe No.B

Lo volvería a comprar me funcionó muy bien para Cuentas de madera y otras cositas

Mini wood lathe machine work great. Has power and speed. Very nice.

I've never worked a lathe before, though I have a general idea how it works and I am a woodworking hobbyist (experience with tablesaws, routers, mitre saw, planers, etc.). There is no detailed documentation on how to use this as a lathe. Going from the pictures on here, I was able to get a nice piece of squared off walnut chucked in securely, well balanced, and spinning. Using the tools provided, I have attempted three times to just round out the piece. I have only been successful in completely mutilating the piece of walnut. I'm not sure if the tools need to be sharpened, if walnut to too hard to work, or if I'm using the tools incorrectly; either way, I haven't figured it out yet. I'll update the review if I'm ever able to. 3-stars for being able to spin small things quickly.
