The Forestwest BM10819 is a compact benchtop wood lathe with a 12-inch swing over the bed and 18 inches between centers. A 3/4 HP (550W) motor drives the spindle up to 3400 rpm through a three-pulley, five-speed setup, and both headstock and tailstock use 2MT tapers. It is aimed at new and intermediate turners who want a simple, movable machine for small bowls, spindles and pens. Against larger variable-speed lathes it gives up electronic speed control and capacity, but it offers more power and swing than most mini lathes in its class, and owners rate it highly for reliability and ease of use.
