A Great Buy and addtion to my workshop - an excelant buy.

Well made very neet lathe for model making and very small engineering tasks

Mine decided to loose all power after a couple combined hours of use. Up until that point it was outstanding. Very accurate and very smooth use. I couldn’t get a replacement so I had to send this one back before purchasing another.

I bought this lathe to do small accurate work to supplement my main and old small lathe: Took me a little while to realise that the top tool slide was not turning parallel to the bed. Normally on a lathe the tool post and tool moves along the carriage, parallel to the bed, turned by the carriage handwheel, but this lathe only has a top tool post slide which has to be set to zero. Mine was maybe a degree or so out! I had to put a test piece in the chuck and use a DTI to realign the top slide. This should have been done after manufacture. The small chuck is quite awkward to use with two small tommy bars to lock and unlock. A single chuck key would be a lot easier. You have to be careful if you take the work piece out of the chuck for some reason and when replacing it, it does not always run central. I guess it's all down to price... Tool height is not adjustable and I use old feeler gauges to raise the height. I have the lathe mounted on a large slab of aluminium (just happened to have lying about!). This makes it much more stable. I have raised the working height much higher than normal as it makes it easier to use and with poor eyesight and old age, helps a lot. I have only done a few jobs so far, time will tell how accurate and useful it will be...

So it h a d boo rack along bed or lead screw. That's not a great help as every time I move that compound alive to turn an angle I have to cl poo co up to parallel turn. Over prices as it lacks the very essence of a lathe. It's a toy,

At first I loved this little lathe. Small size, well made etc. However after a couple of uses the brass work piece I was trying to machine was obviously out of balance. I tried another piece of brass abd that was the same. Not sure why but obviously it had developed a fault. I have contacted Amazon and arranged a return, very disappointed.

Does what it says it does, good quality finish

Tout impeccable!

جميل ولكن حجمه صغير

Proxxon levererar som vanligt!!! Rekommenderas till mindre arbeten som modellbygge!

Można by napisać dość obszerną recenzję, ale opisów tej tokarki jest w sieci bardzo dużo. Dodam tylko to, że po rozpakowaniu i uruchomieniu nie wymagała dodatkowych regulacji i poprawiania po fabryce. Wykonanie bardzo dobre. Cicha praca. Stosuję noże dedykowane do tego modelu. Tulejki wytoczone z aluminium i mosiądzu są znakomitej jakości. Polecam do drobnych i precyzyjnych prac.

petite merveille.
