Smaller diameter pieces are easier to work with. Nice set up compared to my old ShopSmith! If you know what this is, you know you want it. Screw the feet in place and you're good to go! Its features really sold me on this Wood Lathe.

Scheppach 70-305 Final Thoughts
"No problem!"
I couldn’t be more happy with this Wood Lathe . I recommend that beginners buy this Wood Lathe. I am a hobbyist and this Wood Lathe is great. The machine is quiet and smooth as silk. I am a seasoned woodworker and it impressed me.
