CNC Wood Turning Lathe Machine Reviews & Testimonials

Bought this lathe for my high-end candlestick customization business. Received in 25 days, ready to use out of the box, no assembly required. Comes with all the parts and tools needed for turning. As an experienced carpenter I couldn't wait to play with it. After a month of use, I've turned a lot of items with this wood lathe, performing well without any trouble. With CNC, variable speed is no longer an issue. Everything goes smoothly, allowing you to enjoy the fun of woodturning easily without the need for hands. It's a pity that I didn't buy more blades as consumables with the machine (which would save me shipping costs), after all, tool wear is a big problem, and it's much cheaper to buy turning tools directly from Chinese manufacturers than from Amazon. If the extra budget is available, an additional dust collector is a must-have for cleaning up the excess wood chips. All in all, this is a great starter for wood turners who want to give automatic lathing a go. I would give the STL0525 a five-star rating and recommend it to all my fellow woodworkers.

Hard to make up my mind when I ordered this lathe for woodworking at STYLECNC. After all, I had been working with manual lathes for the past few years, and was a little apprehensive about getting started with CNC. My hanging heart relaxed at the moment of unpacking.
PROs:
• Basically all in one, no trouble with assembly.
• Well made with heavy-duty bed structure.
• Full-sized to handle most woodturning projects.
• Easy to get started and fun to play, with instructional documents and videos.
CONs:
• Creating CAD files is hard for CNC beginners like me.
• Controller software compatibility is limited, no other options except what comes with it.
Conclusion
More features remain to be tested in the future time. Overall, so far so good and great value for money.

This lathe came 100% assembled from STYLECNC, plug and play, and the first thing I did was just rough in a table leg for fun. The CNC controller made it super easy to play with, and the woodturning was smooth and clean, far exceeding my expectations.
Pros: Heavy-duty cast iron bed makes it sturdy and durable. Fully automated CNC control system frees your hands, improves productivity and saves manufacturing costs.
Cons: Must go with the auto-feeder option (about $1,000) if you try to take off too much wood blanks at once, as well as a software upgrade.
All in all, It's a beginner-friendly lathe machine for getting started with woodworking automation. Best lathe ever and so far STYLECNC hasn't let me down.

Well built lathe, all parts are well made and solid. The controller software is easy to learn and use for those new to CNC programming, creating smooth and clean bats in minutes. Great value for money. It's a pity that I didn't order the automatic feeder, which would increase the labor cost and waste time. Looking forward to future upgraded versions.

Bigger than I could imagine, but the lathe itself is well built, solid and durable. As an upgraded version of my manual lathe, the STL2530-S4 can handle both turning and milling. Everything is automatic with CNC controller, apart from changing of turning tools and loading of wood blanks. My stair balusters and table legs can be decorated with beautiful patterns or reliefs milled by the built-in spindle, which are pleasing to the eye and no longer boring. Can't wait to move on to more woodworking projects.

Great value for money, cheap but well built. Easy set up with instructions. Everything works as described, powerful and smoothly. Continuously variable speed is perfect for finishing. CNC software is user-friendly for carpentry in wood turning. All in all, an affordable beginner lathe for all.

I'm new to turning on a CNC lathe. Looking for an entry level automatic wood lathe for bowls.

It produces good smooth work in almost all types of woodturning cuts. He loves it and is having so much fun.

I am a beginning turner and have to purchase a mini lathe to start with. This one is quite easy for me to learn. It is automatic and requires no human intervention. It is very solid and runs smooth and quiet. I have been using this lathe almost exclusively for hardwood turning since I got it, which is fantastic as advertised. It works great so far for turning pens and some small beads, vases and bowls in my woodworking shop.

This CNC lathe arrived in perfect condition. A well made machine with great quality control. All the parts are well built, tight and balanced. The bed frame is heavy duty with cast iron structure, which make it more stable to work. I have made some wood balusters and stair spindles. The variable speed works very well, and the automatic speed control system is easy to use, and no human intervention required. The results are fine and clean. Worth every penny. Great lathe machine for woodworking.

This is my first experience with a lathe like this, it is easy to use for me, the Automotion with CNC is the best feature, and the power is good for woodworking. I have made hundreds of stairs spindles and wood balusters with carbide turning tools, and everything runs well. Great value for the money, I hope it continues to work optimally.

I have owned this lathe machine for a few months, and it works really well. I upgraded from a smaller one. Turned some small woodworking projects of bowls and vases, and now working on table legs that will take advantage of the larger swing. This is a great automated lathe for woodworking and worth the money. It has a CNC controller for automatically turning without a manual. All in all an excellent CNC lathe for beginners.

Got it, delivered pretty fast. Everything seems fine. I have finally been able to try out the machine and it is working quite well. I am excited to get this CNC lathe, and pleased with its performance. I will recommend the product and technical support from STYLECNC.

Этот автоматический токарный станок был хорошо упакован, и его было легко собрать. Я новичок в ЧПУ, поэтому нам нужно научиться настраивать и запускать программное обеспечение. Я пытался перевернуть некоторые ножки стола, и это отлично сработало, и я продолжу переворачивать другие проекты. Этот токарный станок по дереву сделал именно то, о чем я его прошу. Пока я очень доволен своей покупкой.

Overall, this is an incredible value. Very heavy, and very sturdy. Operate easily.
Whoever designed the packaging was a genius. There's pretty much no way to damage the parts in shipping. Amazing packaging! Completely protects the contents so they arrive in the same condition as when the wood lathe lefts the factory.

We finally delivered the wood lathe machines to customers and now they are working well. We are ready to place a new order with STYLECNC. Our client like red. So they are very happy because the machine can customize colors.

The lathe works very smoothly and has way enough power. This lathe is outstanding for bowls, vases and baseball bats, etc. It is very accurate, smooth and quiet. I can hold a conversation while using this lathe. The warranty and the brand influenced my choice as well. All in all, I am very satisfied with this tool. I've been turning wood since middle school and this is the best lathe I've had the privilege to own and operate. Outstanding little lathe! You won't be sorry to buy this!

After a lot of research, I went with this automatic lathe machine to fill my professional wood shop. I'm still impressed with its precise and solid for such a good price.

This was very handy in my last building project. This wood lathe works well with CNC controller. Operate instructions are clear and easy to follow.

Received the wood lathe quickly in Denmark. There was no defect in the machine tool. Did the job a lot faster than ordinary manual lathes. Very satisfied with this unit and delivery. Thanks.

The lathe does a good job while it works. As a learning tool or for a carpenter turning wood bowl and spindle blanks it really is quite sufficient, or even safe.

This is the first lathe I've bought here that I'm extremely impressed. Once you've read the instructions, it is easy to set up. It has a nice heavy duty cast iron body, which is heavy enough to sit solidly on the ground and also run quietly, and works just like it is supposed to.

J'ai utilisé ce tour plusieurs fois et j'ai trouvé qu'il fonctionnait bien sans aucun problème. Recommanderait le produit à d'autres.

This is my first lathe machine to start turning bowls and pens. The CNC controller makes it to be a time saver with automatic variable speed control. It is an easy lathe and I have been completely satisfied with it.

The lathe machine arrived earlier than expected. Packaging was well and everything was intact. Easy to assemble and set up, and it works great. I am not surprised as I have a CNC router from STYLECNC and I am a fan.

The lathe machine has been received in 20 days, no complex assembly. I have used it several times, everything seems well balanced and no vibration since we got it and it has been fantastic. I would be proud to show it off to my friends and partners.

We have been using this unit almost exclusively for turning Roman columns and it works like a charm. The lathe operation is automatically as advertised.

This lathe is very robust. Heavy duty. So far it is working well for spindle turning as well as some vases and bowls.

Love everything about the woodworking lathe, it seems sturdy and has no doubt. I have used this machine many times and found it to work great with no problems. Glad I made the purchase.

The second automatic wood lathe machine I bought from STYLECNC. The CNC controller is easy to learn and operate. Recommend this seller to all, honest and gregarious.
