Product Summary

Remember when you could turn your own pens? Fill your house with as many pens as you can with the WEN 8in. by 13in. Variable Speed Mini Wood Lathe. Adjust the variable speed anywhere from 750 to 3200 rotations per minute. The WEN 8in. by 13in. Variable Speed Benchtop Wood Lathe features an MT1 spindle and tailstock taper to tightly grip workpieces, two tool rests (4-1/2in. and 7in.) to provide needed support for chisels and tools during operation, and a 3.2-amp motor to keep things turning. The easy-to-use lever clamping system makes adjustments to both the tool rest and the tailstock simple and precise. The WEN Wood Lathe also includes a flat wrench, a headstock spur center, a tailstock cup center, a knockout rod and a 2.3in. faceplate for non-spindle workpieces. And, because it’s a WEN product, your lathe comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line. Remember when you could turn pens, chess pieces and more? Remember WEN.
