Safety features include a clear plastic chuck guard and an emergency stop button. Its compact footprint (32" L x 11.5" W x 13" H) and weight of approximately 85 lbs make it suitable for smaller workspaces. This lathe is ideal for model makers, hobbyists, and precision metalworkers requiring a versatile and reliable mini metal lathe.
