 Great Beginner's Lathe October 17, 2009
Rick Sterner (Sacramento, CA, USA)
I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago to make specialized "beaters" for my bodhran (Irish frame drum). It took just a few minutes to set up and I've made several nice pieces since then. I haven't used a wood lathe since Jr. High shop class, some 40 years ago, so I don't have much experience. But with the help of a good book and a wide range of YouTube videos on wood turning, I'm having lots of fun. I recommend this lathe.

The tailstock ram locking arm stripped out the first time I used it. The service center was very prompt in sending a replacement, but it was the wrong item. After sending detailed photos and speaking to the Tech support person, they sent another wrong part. This none was not machined correctly so it would not even fit on the bed. I had to file down the tenon to make it fit. The holes and threads were so filled with paint that they had to be cleaned out before I could make it work. The live center had to be lubricated to keep it from squeeling. The fan on the motor was loose and rattled. After e-mailing Rikon with my complaints, they stopped responding. I would not buy another Rikon tool.
