CNC Wood Turning Lathe Machine Reviews & Testimonials

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.

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.

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.
