This is the best deal if you want to get started in turning pens. Just the price of the supplies total more than 300 dollars. This is a great deal.

I purchased my Turncrafter Pro lathe almost on a whim. Now, after 3 weeks I am glad that I made the purchase(it also got me off the couch!). Within just a few days, I was making quality pens, pencils, key chains and bottle stoppers. The Turncrafter lathe is easy to use after a little practice, even for an amateur...after all, I never used a lathe in my life! I did have a shortage on a shipment, but it was taked care of the very next day. The few questions I did have were answered by the knowledgable customer service people. I would recommend to anyone to take up the hobby.

Everything worked fine right out of the box! That in itself is amazing. I never used a lathe before so I was a little leary of getting started but all went well. Lots of fun. This stuff is great, I would recommend it to any beginner!

This is my first lathe. I have already turned some pen sets. Very solid, easy to set up and great to use.
