This thing is exactly what I was looking for and it didn't disappoint in the least. Plenty of torque for my purposes, good adjustability and speed range, and not too loud so as to upset the neighbors right across the sidewalk (I think). Also very fun and satisfying to use.I use it for making rings. I have some carbide-tipped hand tools and I have no issues shaping down square ring blanks (which are only 1" in width max) of any hardness, and even soft metals like silver can easily be shaved down a bit.I'm sure it would also be great for pen making, though it does struggle a bit if you need to do very hard woods -- if you were to do an entire (say 5") very hard pen blank it would likely take longer and might wear down the motor a bit (maybe take breaks?) but you could still easily get the job done if you go slow.So far it's been in use for a couple of months on and off, getting used at least once a week for a few hours up to 3 times a week, say 4 hours each. I've had no issues with it.The only thing I will say that could be better is the tailstock -- it is pretty jiggly and when it's not secured with the thumbscrews it's pretty much useless. I thought I could use it for drilling but that's a no-go. Maybe if you're doing very soft wood it wouldn't be an issue but it just wiggles too much for drilling anything I tried. Other than that it's fine for securing your piece for turning.I don't have a decibel meter but I would say the noise level at max speed is on par with a small handheld vacuum. If it is too loud you can always lower the speed from 6 to about 4 and that dramatically reduces the noise. I work out of a garage that's right across a sidewalk from apartment complexes and I feel comfortable running this thing without disturbing anyone. I would say I could even run it late at night on 3-4 and have no issues. Note that in my garage there's a gap between the roof and wall so any noise basically goes right through to the other side.Overall this is a great purchase, honestly one of the best I've made and I don't regret it in the least. Exactly what I needed and I don't see myself replacing it until it breaks.

I purchased this micro lathe to make dollhouse miniatures. Haven’t used all the features yet but so far I am very happy with the unit. Considering that I was using my Dremel as a lathe before this feels like a Cadillac. Directions are a little sparse but plenty of YouTube videos out there for inspiration. Good selection of collets to accommodate many sizes of dowel. My only gripe was the poor packaging on the part of Amazon... I feel this type of product should be shipped with some protection and it was not. Otherwise I would recommend this product.

for small (Wooden model ship work) that I do this is absolutely perfect for me . I have no complaints. With the hollow headstock you can pass long pieces right thru it and work on fairly long stock. I think I will order a second bed tho and mount it on a board end to end with the original , I should be able to turn even longer stuff

This is a Great micro lathe. We were immediately impressed with how quiet and fast the lathe is. It works beautifully. My son has been using it to turn miniature dollhouse vases, bowls, plates, cups, etc. He is able to use it inside without any loud noise. We are using this lathe with the jaw chuck that fits it. The two together work great and makes it easy to turn anything. We have several Proxxon products and we are totally blown away by the power, and ease of use that all their products have. We have never been disappointed by their quality. Thank you for selling such great products and standing behind your name.
