I have it, it is a very good lathe, a piece of advice, lubricate the tailstock bearing from time to time, they also sell a drill chuck as an accessory, very useful for making centered holes in the pieces PD: sorry olha ,i use google traslator
You used the wrong chuck, when you where turning square material. Square material needs a four jaw chuck, so you can actually center the piece and prevent it is all wobbling (probably the reason you used a file instead of the quality chisels from proxxon) . A three jaw chuck you used is perfect for round material.
Great first time turning. Tips - Always rest your tool only on the tool rest, not on a finger. Get the rest as close to the wood as you can without touching (better leverage, control). Always turn the wood to check clearance before powering up. The tools supplied are a good set re shapes. For faster, cleaner turning, sharpen them to a near mirror finish. Watch a few pro woodturners on UA-cam, you'll get the idea.
That is really an absolute stunning piece or machine that you did add to your workshop !! I have worked with one in big scale, and I admire your skills, because this is really top notch work !!
I really enjoyed this video. I also have this lathe but have not used it yet. I am a little scared but watching your video, it's given me confidence to try it out. Thank you for a great video. 🙂
Olga, Proxxon's independent 4-jaw chuck accessory for your lathe would hold your square/rectangular stock better than the 3-jaw chuck does. Now all you need is some larger files (with handles!) to speed up your filing work on spars, etc. Micro-Mark still offers abrasive cord & abrasive tape (on spools) that might also be useful for sanding very small groves or similar in turned (or other) parts that you make.
Unfortunately Proxxon's 4-jaw chuck is made of plastic as opposed to the steel 3-jaw. Reviews of the 4-jaw are also unremarkable. Wonder if there is a aftermarket or other alternative to the plastic OEM offering?
Probably not the best out there but is perfectly fine for what it is designed for, just don't push it beyond it's limits. I did managed to turndown some brass on it with care.
Slightly depressing to see how often the rotation stopped just due to ordinary tool pressure--something I'd not tolerate on my junky Jet 48" And, selling you obviously dull chisels borders on the criminal. One of the things not easily appreciates is how, in miniaturizing machine tools, they need to be /more/ precise than their larger versions. It's one thing, to turn a 4" baluster, and only be good to ±0.00, but, at 1/48 scale, 5 thousandths is a quarter inch.
That's the problem with Proxxon, that they make mini tools, but not all of them are designed for precise work. For example, their table saw FET is ideal for building dollhouses (for this it was designed), but it is garbage for shipmodelers. It needs to be improved to double its cost before it can be used in shipmodelling... But at the same time, they make the best rotary tools. The MF70 milling machine is also a good helper. This lathe lives up to its value. That would be unacceptable for JET!
Ohla: You make some fine and very interesting videos but, you’re far too rapid with unpacking items. No chance to pause, read labels for detail and etc..
Olha, please post more videos on this lathe. I purchased it alongside with the accessories about 3 months ago and love it. Thank you for the upload. 😊
My pleasure!
Yes, would be great seeing where you are going to use the lathe!
I'm already collecting a video collection)))

Yes, would love to see more uses for the lathe! Thank you!
Will do!
I use my jet pen lathe with the pen blank chuck. Square stock no problem.
A beautiful new tool for your shop, beautifully demonstrated with your neat, precise hands. I expect we will more of it and it's turnings.
Thank you very much!
It appears, you have mastered the lathe as well! Love to watch you work : )
Thank you very much!

I didn't buy a four jaw chuck, but immediately after unboxing I understood why the manufacturer offers two options)))

Thank you ! Very usefull when planning to aquire one.
I use this mini lathe since a few days. No problem with hard wood. You need sharp tools.
I found on mine that the bottom rail isn't long enough. So I bought different aluminum rails and remounted it. Now I can do full masts.
Oh yes and I had to upgrade the end to a mini chuck because some of the wood we use is to soft for that point and it will cause wobble.
I too modified the tool rest.
That's a great idea!
tyvm for posting !! nice tool !
Thank you!
You have a gift for mastering tools so quickly... 👍
Thank you! This tool is just really interesting and fun to work with...
That is really an absolute stunning piece or machine that you did add to your workshop !! I have worked with one in big scale, and I admire your skills, because this is really top notch work !!
Thank you very much!
Each new tool makes work easier and faster, and that's why this one also took its permanent place on the table...
@@OlhaBatchvarov I totally understand it that this one got his permanant place !!
So many wonderful tools to buy.
Oh yes - they make life easier!
I bought this lathe and it is magnificent for our hobby, it's great, thanks

Thank you!
I am glad it was helpful!
Вітаю з обновкою 🎉❤😊
Напевно гарний станок , якщо у Ольги є такий і мені подобається,
Також треба придбати 😊🎉
УСПІХІВ 🎉😊❤❤❤
Щиро дякую!
Love your new set of tools for your projects Olah. Hope that you do use safety equipment when you are using your tools Olah 🙏.
Thank you!

WOW - plastic?
Although it makes sense to avoid damaging the wood...
What a fantastic addition to your shop, congratulations!!!
Thank you!
Awesome tool I really got to get me one you can do so much with it 👍👍👍
Definitely!
Sure would make creating spars and some masts easier
This is the main task of this tool!
Thank you for your review of this tool...i have been considering obtaining this tool, but with a four jaw chock.
Thank you for watching!
Yep, I'll be ordering 4 jaw chock soon too. But 3 jaw chock is also needed when working with round parts...
Looks like a useful tool. Too bad it doesn't come with a set of your hands
Thank you!))))
Gracias por compartir tu vídeo.....🇲🇽🇲🇽....
mi placer

I did managed to turndown some brass on it with care.
Thank you!
Why did you use files and not the turning tools ? I always find them a lot quicker
Yes, it is! But if you need to work slowly so as not to cut off too much - then files become an ideal option!
👍👍👍😍😍💙💛
👌👌👌👌👌😺
Should had a look at a Taig lathe instead
They have a completely different purpose!
отличная вещь, спору нет. А как на нем обрабатывать например реи 45-50 см?) или мачты...
Eше не пробовала ничего длиннее 20 см. Но теоретически одну сторону потом другую. Или заменить и прикрутить профиль подлиннее. Посмотрим как пойдет...
Just wonder how long the motor will last
I am using it very actively now! We'll see in the future...
А там, в руководстве, не предлагают ради безопасности снимать кольца?
My pleasure!
😼😼😼😼😼😼
А у вас биение на шпинделе присутствует? Если есть подкажите на сколько.
Пока все работает идеально! Никакого биения! А я его активно использую сейчас...

you can use the settings to slow down the play- then it should be no problem
Look in the video description, there is a link for each item for more details
