 Poor Quality ControlOct 11, 2006
By James Johnson
"Nine Fingers Jim"
Apparently I didn't learn from my experience when I bought the lathe. PSI made good when the first lathe they sent me died immediately with a puff of smoke. For this I give them credit. There is a lot of play in the fit when you mate the extension to the lathe bed. That is just a little annoying. In order for the tailstock to slide off the bed and on to the extension, I had to dress the channel from end to end. Likewise for the tool rest. The screw holes lined up, and that's about the only thing that fit properly. This last is the really annoying part. After much fiddling around, I have a functioning, if underpowered, lathe.

 Excellent valueJan 30, 2010
By Steve
Bought this a couple years ago and this lathe is still going strong. Great for pen and small bowl and vessel turning. Plenty of power and variable speed works great (a must have feature you won't regret paying a little more for). BTW, I considered the Jet model but found the Turncrafter had comparable features and quality. One difference is the TC has plastic quick-release levers connected to the metal bolts to tighten the rest and the tail screw. One of the plastic pieces has stripped a little so I have to sometimes use some pliers. For the price difference with the Jet, this slight quality issue is tolerable. I did have to change belts after a while because the first belt started to roll over regularly, but the unit came with a spare belt. Suggest getting the extention bed as well; very convenient for sliding the tail stock back further to install and remove your workpiece.

I ordered this lathe for my husband. He was so impressed with it. A friend that has a expensive lathe wants one of these as it is more compact and easier to bring out to use and set up for quick jobs.
Turncrafter latheMar 09, 2009
By Val G. Ingraham
The unit is very well made. Although not mentioned in the stats, you CAN turn the head around for oversized turning off the end of the lathe. You are however restricted to only the lowest belt setting, but if you purchased the variable speed model you do have a somewhat higher speed available. Adding the extension bed makes the unit far more versitle unless you plan on only turning small items. But for the price of the package, which includes the extension bed and a set of turning tools, you almost get the bed for free. DO spend the extra up front and purchase the chuck along with the lathe. You will need it eventually.

Lathe extensionJul 03, 2006
By W. Dunham
"wood carver"
Received it 2 weeks prior to the lathes arrival. It fit up well but had to dress the inside of the ways for the tail piece and the tool resr to slide back and forth.
