Tools and Hardware Reviews of SHOP FOX W1752 Mini Wood Lathe
Customer Review: A great lathe, better if there was such a thing as quaility control in China
Summary: 5 Stars
The problems are listed below, but if you get past them it is a good lathe for the money. If your new to wood lathe as I am do your homework first. I read many reviews and looked at several lathes(not that I could afford them). There are many how to videos on how to use the tools, what tools you need and how to use them. Within minutes after turning it on and figuring out how to use the chisels, I was able to make a nice oak handle. The speed is fairly easy to change and the lathe is smooth and quiet. It comes with the necessary parts to get you started, minus the chisels.It has a 2 year warranty and seems well made. The live center and other pointy thing in the front (the spur center) line up perfectly. I have a little concern about plastic handles but other wise it seems well made.
1.Amazon took way to long to ship it, they penalize you if you use free shipping. almost 2 weeks from the day I ordered it.
2. The lathe was covered in grease, not a little but way to much. Up to 1/4 inch in places.ABSURD and it took over an hour just to clean up the grase. It does need a protective layer but not hand fulls of grease.
3. The quill handle was broken off at the threads in the handle, I think this happened at the factory because they put a new handle in the parts package. They just didn't want to take the time to do it themselves. That took a few minutes to get the broken treads out of the quill handle and put a new handle in. thankfully they at least gave me a new one.
4. The motor dust cover had broke off during shipping apparently.It looks I have have to take out the whole motor assembly to put it back on.Right now I have a peace of electrical take holding the cover on.
Having said that the lathe seems like a good quality lathe that should last for years.
A note, the tool rest handles are spring loaded and can be turned up or down so to stay out of the way of the tool rest.
In spit of the problems I still gave it 5 stars, it is a good value. There is nothing that feels cheap about it.
