Does it cut both inch and metric threads?

Yes. It cuts inch threads from 12 to 52 TPI and metric threads from 0.5 to 2.5 mm, using the included metal change gears.

How fast does the spindle spin?

The 550W DC motor drives the spindle from 50 to 2250 RPM, variable within that range. Low speeds suit threading and large diameters; high speeds suit small work and polishing.

What comes in the box?

The lathe, a work light, a lathe center, an oil gun, three chuck jaws, seven turning tools, a battery and charger, nine metal gears, six Allen keys, two wrenches, a storage box and an accessories kit.

How big is the spindle hole?

The spindle bore is 0.8 inch, or 21 mm. That limits through-spindle work to bar stock under that diameter.

Is it a good first lathe?

It is a reasonable starter for hobby work in aluminum, brass and plastics. Expect to learn setup and to check alignment, and keep cuts light in steel.

Our take on the BENTISM 7"X14" Mini Precision Wood Lathe 550W Metal Bench Lathe Turning Machine

The BENTISM 7x14 is a benchtop metal lathe with a 550W DC motor and a variable spindle speed of 50 to 2250 RPM. It handles turning, drilling and threading, with inch threads from 12 to 52 TPI and metric threads from 0.5 to 2.5 mm. Its 7.09-inch swing over the bed and 13.78-inch center distance put it in the same class as other 7x14 mini lathes, but it adds a metal gear train, an LED work light and a bundled tool kit. It suits hobby machinists and small shops that need a compact lathe for aluminum, brass and light steel work.
