4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Nice Starter Set
Reviewer: Michael Doubek (Grey Eagle, MN)

This was a 2 week lets look at everything and price out everything and relook at everything and decide it's a good deal and she tells you that she will need a pint of blood besides. But all things aside this is a great kit. It has everything. The only thing I do not like is the plastic handles on the tailstock and the tool rest, they should be metal I have one that is stripped out. There are other things you will need but you will make a pen in as little as 15 to 30 min so GO For It Michael

Excellent value for a starting lathe. The pen kits are nice, although a little variety would probably make it more interesting. My only gripe is that the handle and bolt holding the motor release level is fairly cheap and doesn't handle abuse well if you're frequently changing the pulley setting.

Since I have received my Turncraft Pro I have used every spare moment turning pens. The mechine realy is a great deal, And I have enjoyed every moment with it. I never knew I had the patience and skills to use it. I highly recommend it to all of my friends who may be interested in turning pens.

Your starter package is working out great. I have completed 10 of the included slimline pen and pencil sets. I am looking forward to trying out your different styles and more exotic blanks. Thanks for introducing me to a great past time that hopefully I'll be able to turn into a for profit endeavor.
