The IDEALHOUSE Compact Benchtop Wood Lathe is a 400W AC-mains lathe with a 14-inch swing over the bed and a 20-inch bed length, aimed at hobby turners and small shops. It runs on standard household power and is sized to sit on a workbench, so it suits pens, bowls, spindles and small furniture parts rather than long table legs. Compared with mid-size lathes it gives up motor power and bed length, but it takes up far less room and needs no special wiring. Reviewers of this class of lathe tend to praise the easy setup and low noise, and to note that aggressive cuts and large blanks demand light passes and sharp tools.
