Description of DELTA LA200 Shopmaster 10-Inch Swing-by-14-1/2-Inch between Centers 1/2-Horsepower Benchtop Mini Woodworking Lathe, 120-Volt 1-Phase
Turning is great fun--try it once, and you'll be hooked. This is the perfect lathe to feed your need to turn. Durable cast-iron construction houses a powerful 1/2-horsepower motor with access to six speeds from 500 to 3,700 rpm for a variety of materials. This Midi-Lathe offers a 14-1/2-inch distance between centers, which is perfect for smaller projects such as pens, candlesticks, bowls, and other vessels--but buy the bed extension accessory and you've got yourself a full-size lathe for turning objects as long as 37 inches. Even without the accessory, you get a 3-inch faceplate and a 6-inch cast-iron tool rest. This lathe is a great way for the home woodworker to get into turning--and the nice part is, it's the only lathe you'll ever need to buy. --Kris Jensen-Van HesteTools and Hardware Reviews of DELTA LA200 Shopmaster 10-Inch Swing-by-14-1/2-Inch between Centers 1/2-Horsepower Benchtop Mini Woodworking Lathe, 120-Volt 1-Phase
Customer Review: Get What You Pay For
Summary: 5 Stars
The unit was shipped and received as promised. It only took a few minutes to unpack and put everything together, and within the half of an hour I had wood in it and was turning. It is a little underpowered for a lathe (I can stop it with a piece of sandpaper on the wood), but this was expected. I bought it mostly for sanding and small jobs knowing I might have to get another bigger lathe later, but this is a great starter. Well built and stable (especially with the bed extension installed), a very decent quality machine. Considering that you can expect to spend another few hundred dollars on a chuck and some other tools to get started, the low cost of this quality lathe helps ease the burden. If you want to seriously turn large items this is not the correct machine to invest in, but for smaller spindles and sanding it is excellent.This is my first lathe and the buying decision was difficult. The nightmare with me is always that I will pay for a machine or a tool that doesn't quite do the job and end up with more machines than I wanted. Just realize before you buy this one that there are always trade-offs between cost and purpose. Decide what you want to do first, and if you are doing smaller projects or need a starter machine this is a good one to get.
