The WEN 3421 is a small benchtop wood lathe with an 8-inch swing over the bed and 12 inches between centers. Its 3.2-amp motor delivers 1/2 HP with soft-start variable speed from 750 to 3200 RPM, so you can slow down for roughing and speed up for finishing. It suits hobbyists turning pens, handles, small bowls and spindles, and it costs far less than full-size lathes with the same features. The trade-off is capacity and rigidity: it is lighter and less powerful than midi lathes from Jet or Rikon, and the MT1 tapers limit accessory choice.

Owners treat the WEN 3421 as a capable first lathe for small projects. They praise the variable speed and soft start, and many say it handles pens, handles and small bowls well. Complaints center on power and vibration with bigger blanks, and on the MT1 tapers limiting accessories.
