    • AustriaBargain on 10/10/2018 - 16:46

      My partner is always dissatisfied when she spends a long time sucking and there is no blowing. At least clean up is easier without blowing, could accidentally blow all that dust back out again if you’re not careful.

      Wet and dry vacuums don't normally use them.

      • Luckypenguin on 11/10/2018 - 00:46

        They should all have them as option when required. Bags are useful when dealing with very fine particles such as concrete dust.

    Google seems to suggest the lathe is of debatable quality, so just be careful.

    • try2bhelpful on 10/10/2018 - 16:28
      +2

      You surprise me; something like that from Aldi being debatable quality? If I was looking for a lathe I would go for a woodworking site or a second hand one.

      • EFC94 on 10/10/2018 - 16:37
        +3

        So would I, however if a power tool breaks mid use it could injure someone who might not be using it correctly. So just thought I'd warn people to be careful.

        • try2bhelpful on 10/10/2018 - 16:45
          +2

          Sorry, the snarky wasn't aimed at you, more at people who would think this was a good idea:) I completely agree with your comments. There is no way I would buy anything like that from Aldi the outcome could be catastrophic - then again I suppose you could take it back to Aldi with your remaining good hand.

          Make the wooden peg leg before the lathe breaks and shatters one of your own legs then.

    • philmccracken on 10/10/2018 - 17:41

      I try not being overly negative about things, but I saw one last time they were on sale and agree about the "debatable quality" assessment. I used another brand lathe of the same basic design years ago, which was ordinary enough at best even for just light work, and looks like they've just kept cost cutting the design and manufacture over the years and made it even flimsier.

      If you were buying the lathe to repurpose it as a buffing wheel or disc sander etc, then maybe. But to buy it for actual wood turning, I think there are better options.

      From a quality/usability point of view - I expect the whole thing would flex and vibrate like crazy, especially with any workpiece that wasn't well balanced to start. I highly doubt the heatstock spindle and tailstock are in any great deal of alignment, and the one I saw the spindle had a decent amount of play and didn't really like to rotate by hand so I'd assume the pulleys were hardly in good alignment either and/or bearings were crapola. You are stuck with the inbuilt spur drive and the faceplate so can't use any other attachments. The tools might turn out halfway decent if you're lucky, but don't expect them to be HSS.

      Regarding safety - Given the flimsiness of the whole unit, I don't expect the tailstock to offer the best support without the bed rails flexing, or the tool rest to stay where you want it to and not flex or rotate given some tool pressure which could lead to a catch. If you did have any decent sort of catch I can't see how the work piece would ever be able to stay between centres and not come flying out, or the toolrest or tailstock or even the whole lathe just bending up over itself (which would be hilarious to watch if you weren't standing next to it with a lump of wood spinning at 2000rpm).

      Sure you'd probably pay twice as much, but you'd be far better getting something second hand with a cast bed etc. Even if you're dead keen on buying new, for a little over double I'd expect something like the Carbatec mini lathe would be x1000 better and safer.

      • try2bhelpful on 10/10/2018 - 17:45

        A well thought out, and explained, comment. Are you sure you are on the right site?

      • Jackson on 11/10/2018 - 13:02

        Making this lathe is perfect for the budding wood turner who will buy it and pack it in the loft rack of his garage without ever using it!

        Great post and spot on. Those Carbatec lathes are the real deal.

        That said, I'm still gonna buy one of these, see how it compares to the one from years ago.

  • serpserpserp on 10/10/2018 - 20:12

    A wood lathe at $149 sounds terrifyingly like an Ortiz circular saw style of quality. Good for a couple of uses, but also might put you in the hospital when it fails.

  • h11deo on 10/10/2018 - 20:54
