The PROXXON DB 250 is a bench-top lathe built for turning small parts, not full-size bowls or spindles. Its ball-bearing spindle is bored through at 10mm and runs from 1,000 to 5,000rpm under electronic speed control, so it handles pen blanks, knobs, dollhouse parts and model work. It ships with a faceplate, drive centre, live centre and six collets from 2 to 10mm, which is more tooling than most micro lathes include. The 250mm centre distance and 40mm swing keep it firmly in miniature territory; anyone wanting to turn chair legs or salad bowls needs a larger machine.
