Description
A working metal lathe small enough to sit on a desk. It turns brass, aluminum, plastic and wood, a few millimeters at a time.
This is the classic all-metal mini lathe that model makers and watch hobbyists buy as their first one. Red headstock, black bed, a three-jaw chuck, a tailstock and a cross slide you wind by hand. It comes as a set, mostly assembled.
The numbers
- Turns work up to 45 mm across (about 1.8 in), and 135 mm between centers (about 5.3 in). A riser block in the set lifts that to about 50 mm across.
- Center height 25 mm.
- Motor 24 W, 12 V DC, up to 20,000 rpm. Slow it to around 2,000 rpm for metal.
- Holds work in a three-jaw chuck, or in a collet from 1 to 6 mm.
- High-speed steel cutting tools.
- Runs from a wall adapter with a US plug, 110 V.
What it is good at
Pins, bushings, pulleys, knobs, small shafts for models, brass fittings, turned pens. Soft metals and wood; on steel, keep cuts light and slow - not for hardened steel.
Before the first cut, check the chuck is tightened properly and give the tools an edge. Sharpening a lathe tool is part of owning one anyway.
Why it is in the gift section
Because a lot of people who would use one every weekend will never buy it for themselves. If you are buying for someone who builds models, repairs clocks or turns pens, this is the tool they point at in videos.
Pairs well with
Digital caliper 150 mm, $39: measure the diameter as you turn, not after the cut is too deep.
Items from different listings ship separately, each with its own tracking number.
Delivery
United States only - ships from a US warehouse, with a 110 V plug. Free and tracked, usually one to two weeks.
30-day returns from the day it arrives. Return postage is yours, the price of the item comes back in full.
Shipping and returns
Free tracked shipping on every order to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, with no minimum. A few items ship to a shorter list of countries, and their page says so.
Orders leave within 2 business days. The delivery time for your country is shown under the price of each item. In the United States the Mini Drill Press, the lathes, the XYZ and XYZR micrometer stages and many of the tools ship from US warehouses and arrive in about a week or less. Items shipped from overseas take one to two weeks, a few larger ones two to four. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel is scanned.
30-day returns from the day it arrives, unused and in its packaging. If it arrived damaged or faulty, we pay the return label. If you simply changed your mind, you pay the return postage and get the full price of the item back. Email support@arvonelle.com before sending anything back.
Before you order
Do I pay tax or duty? In the United States, sales tax is added at checkout where your state charges it, and the total you see is what you pay. For Australia and New Zealand nothing is added at checkout. If a carrier ever asks you for a fee on one of our parcels, don't pay it: email us first and we sort it out.
What if a part breaks? For twelve months, tell us which part and we post a new one free. No return needed.
Can I cancel? Yes, within 24 hours of ordering, no questions asked.
How do I reach you? Write to support@arvonelle.com or use the chat. A real person answers within one business day.
