The WEN 14 x 20 benchtop wood lathe is a variable-speed lathe for turning spindles and small bowls in a home shop. Its 6-amp motor runs from 250 to 3550 RPM through a dial, so you can slow it for roughing a blank and speed it up for finishing. It has a 1-inch-8 spindle thread, MT2 tapers, an 8-inch tool rest and a 4-inch faceplate, and it handles workpieces up to 20 inches long and 14 inches wide. It is a low-cost way into turning compared with full-size lathes, but it is lighter and less rigid than cast-iron floor models, and owners of budget lathes often note vibration at high speeds and the need to re-tighten the tailstock and tool rest.

Owners of budget benchtop lathes like this one generally find them capable for small turning at a low entry cost, but they report vibration and flex when pushing large or unbalanced blanks.
