This is a Micro desktop lathe which can used for turning, drilling, boring, threading and other processing Made of advanced aluminum alloy, durable and non-deformable for usage. Note: When processing harder materials, the feed rate should be smaller, and the operation of aluminum and copper materials should be slow. Patience is required.which is slower than processing wood.

Processing Materials: Wood, Plastic, Aluminum, Copper and other Soft Metal,CAN'T Processing Alloy,Brass Rod.Note: The harder the material, the smaller the depth of cut.we offer several shims for you to adjust the height of the turning tool.
