Review: Great little lathe - i got his lathe just before Christmas 2015, I was impressed with the machining and the smoothness of the travel on the tail stock. Stock. I was looking at buying the one from Harbor Freight and the Excelsior from Rockler as I think they are about the same lathe. This one was on sale at Woodcraft for $50.00 more but it has a 5 year warranty instead of a 90 day at Harbor and 1 year at Rockler. The motor seems to be an up grade as it has some cooling fins on it. Other have had concerns about how hot the one from Harbor gets, this one so far has run just warm. It is very well balanced with no vibration. I got it to play with turning some pens and toys, so far it has been great as i;m just learning. I've had an old Craftsman lathe for years and never did much with it because I was always fighting ( i didn't know that until now) so it wasn't much fun now with this one it has become a joyful thing to go to the shop and play. It is heavy enough an smooth enough that I haven't bolted it down and it hasn't move even with some big peaces of wood that were not squared and were out of balance at the beginning and it still handled it just fine. Great little lathe for turning pens and toys or small projects Review: Nice lathe - Received lathe pretty quickly. It is heavy. Set up was quick also, but it suffered some minor damage. The cover to the motor was caved in and made loud noise when turned on. Had to remove cover and take the dent out with a hammer. It now runs smooth and quiet. I love everything about it. I will add another review after I use it for a few hours. Used the lathe to cut a gear shift knob, worked like a dream, cuts smooth, speed change is quick. Nice bang for the buck. Customer service is not responsive on my motor cover defect. But the lathe is awesome to use. ## Features - Rikon mini lathe: This Rikon mini lathe features a ½ motor that provides ample power for all turning needs.

Have a great day! https://buymbs.com/p-7542-rikon-10-inch-x-18-inch-mini-lathe.aspx?vid=1089439 **Q: can a veriabule speed drive add to this lathe** A: This machine has multiple pulley on a belt like many drill presses. To change the speed simply loosen the belt and change it to a different pulley. The speeds go (500, 1,175, 1,850, 2,225, 3,200) **Q: Does Rikon or another manufacturer make a steady rest for this lathe?** A: The lathe comes a rest attached to the base. Only about 6 inches wide but is perfect for pens and other small turning. Woodcraft carries additional rest for this model also. The one included is completely adjustable. **Q: I purchased this for ring turning. What Chuck would be suggested to purchase?** A: I'm not absolutely sure but a tapered live feed, if available, might work. Sounds like you may need to make one out of hardwood or really strong plastic. They sell a drive that has a screw thread on one end. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little lathe *by A***R on March 11, 2016* i got his lathe just before Christmas 2015, I was impressed with the machining and the smoothness of the travel on the tail stock.

Just like another reviewer stated, the lathe arrived with a dented motor housing, which kept the motor from turning. When you removed the housing, it worked fine. However, I saw no way that I could remove the dent. As there was no other option that I could see to get it fixed, I returned it. One other thing to note: the motor sits lower than the feet or screws that you use to mount it. This means that you need to get a heavy duty stand that supports the feet but does not go flat across; there needs to be a hole for the motor. (This figured into my reason for returning it since it wouldn't fit my current stand and one for this lathe was $189.00.) ## Frequently Bought Together - RIKON Power Tools 70-105 10" x 18" 1/2 hp Mini Lathe - PSI Woodworking LCHSS8 Wood Lathe 8pc HSS Chisel Set - Big Horn 19053C 3 Pieces 8-Inch Spring Caliper / Divider Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/21905448-rikon-power-tools-70-105-10-x-18-1-2](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/21905448-rikon-power-tools-70-105-10-x-18-1-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
