Product Summary

Remember when you could turn brass, steel, aluminum, and more? The WEN Variable Speed 7-by-12in. 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 7in. of swing and 12in. 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 5/16in. 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 .0.8in. spindle bore (20 mm), a 2-1/2in. cross slide travel (65 mm), a 2.16in. compound slide travel, a .004 to .008in. 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 12in. high, with a 27-3/4 x 11-1/2in. 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.

  1. Are all the gears metal

    1 answer

    1. This lathe is designed for use with plastic gears. This is intentional, so that if you make a mistake and a gear or the lead screw binds up, a gear will break rather than the motor. The gears are much easier and less expensive to replace.

  2. What is the max diameter for holding on the left side chuck?
