The WEN Variable Speed 7-by-12-Inch Two-Direction Metal Lathe provides users anywhere from 100 to 2500 RPM of turning power to make knobs, custom screws, parts, chess pieces, and whatever else your heart desires. With 7 inches of swing and 12 inches of space between centers, you'll be able to turn metal of all shapes and sizes. The variable speed motor adjusts anywhere from 100 to 2500 RPM in either rotational direction. The onboard thread indicator helps users turn screw threads anywhere from 12 to 52 TPI with either metric or imperial pitches. The three-jaw chuck holds workpieces tightly in place while the optional auto feed can be adjusted to meet the needs of the project at hand. The 5/16-inch capacity tool post allows up to four cutting tools to be mounted at once, making for simple substitutions mid-project. The WEN Metal Lathe also features an MT3 spindle taper, an MT2 dead center tailstock taper, a .0.8-inch spindle bore (20 mm), a 2-1/2-inch cross slide travel (65 mm), a 2.16-inch compound slide travel, a .004 to .008-inch per revolution longitudinal feed rate (.1 to .2 mm), a complete set of change gears, and a 4-amp motor. This unit measures in at 79.4 pounds and 12 inches high, with a 27-3/4 x 11-1/2-inch footprint. And because it's a WEN product, your metal lathe comes backed by a two-year warranty, a stocked inventory of replacement parts, and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure you remember WEN.

Initial review: Not a fan of any products that contain plastic gears. So i made silicon molds of the 10 plastic gears for when they break. After further analysis, it is a well built system, good solid design. The plastic gear is used as a protection for the motor, if something happens it will shear the gear instead of break the motor. I still feel a strong gear design could be used and still be able to break if something happens.
