I kind of laughed when I seen this, mostly because of the poor translation of the product description. And it can be converted to a table saw. LOL, a segmenters dream. https://shopnorthforge.com/products/projectpartner

It never ceases to amaze me. They advertise it as a mini lathe. As all us woodturners know, you can turn small stuff with a large lathe, but you can't turn large stuff on a small lathe. On the subject of table saws, I have just got into segmenting, and for Xmas, I treated myself to a "Proxxon FET" precision mini table saw. Expensive, but top quality.
 
It may be designed for model builders (balusters on ship railings, legs on doll house chairs, nozzles on tanks, etc.)


- I watched an old antique show on BBC and one of the guys was a horologist <watch/clock maker>. He used a similar tiny lathe for small brass watch parts, bushings and the like. It seemed more than adequate for his needs in turning small parts at slower speeds.

- ebill > don't know that I would chuck up a pc of acrylic on it though <g>
 
Haha.........I must be in the minority here........yes, it's a toy, and probably not a very good one....BUT, if they sold them here, I'd probably buy one just for fun and to make it into something else... ;)
 
Have to wonder about the seller with a review (a week ago?) like this! Not sure I could give five stars if I'm still waiting eight months without the order being received!
