The WEN 12-by-18 benchtop wood lathe is a mid-size lathe for turning spindles up to 18 inches and bowls up to 12 inches in diameter. A 4.5-amp motor drives five fixed speeds from 520 to 3400 RPM, changed by moving the belt, and the 70-plus-pound cast build is meant to stay put while cutting. It uses MT2 tapers at the spindle and tailstock and ships with a spur center, cup center, 3-1/8-inch faceplate, knockout rod and hex wrenches.

Remember when you could turn your own table legs? Fill your house with as many table legs as you can with the WEN 12-Inch by 18-Inch 5-Speed Wood Lathe. With 5 different operating speeds, you’ll be able to turn workpieces at 520, 900, 1400, 2150, or 3400 rotations per minute. The 4.5A motor provides maximum torque while the sturdy 70+ pound build prevents walking and wobbling during operation. This beast of a lathe features an MT2 spindle and tailstock taper to tightly hold your workpieces, along with a 7-7/8-inch tool rest for chisel and tool support during operation. The easy-to-use lever clamping system makes adjustments to both the tool rest and the tailstock simple and precise. The WEN Wood Lathe also includes a headstock spur center, a tailstock cup center, a flat wrench, a knockout rod, 2 hex wrenches (3 mm and 5mm), an accessory holder, and a 3-1/8 inch faceplate for turning bowls, cups and other non-spindle workpieces. And, because its a WEN product, your lathe comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line. Remember when you could turn pens, bowls, cups, chess pieces and more? Remember WEN.
