S #### _Sajag Gola_ _5_ out of 5 Reviewed in India on 2026-04-01 I'm a skilled woodturner primarily crafting wooden bowls, vases, candlesticks, table legs, and similar items. I've always relied on a manual lathe for years, but after conducting research over the past few months, I finally decided to give an automated woodturning lathe (STL0810-2) a try. This meant sacrificing the hands-on pleasure of manual operation, but it also allowed me to experience the exceptional craftsmanship made possible by CNC automation. To be honest, this is a superbly crafted lathe, and its structure is constructed from cast iron featuring an exquisite surface finish. The addition of CNC technology has made woodturning easier, faster, and safer. However, CAD software left me (a beginner with little experience) feeling completely overwhelmed, requiring a steep and lengthy learning curve. Apart from that, every feature has served me well so far. W #### _WarrenHeine_ _5_ out of 5 Reviewed in the United States on 2024-03-07 I was completely on the fence about which lathe to buy. Mini size was too small, full size was too large. I opted for this STL0810-2 which was by far the best bang for the buck. Arrived undamaged but I agree the packaging should be better around the control, others have complained about. Made in China but solidly built and zero issues with it. The CNC controller is user friendly and easy to use for beginners. Well worth the money. Glad I bought it and would recommend this lathe to everyone. If you are new to wood turning or looking for an affordable small wood lathe this is a great option. S #### _Sam Douglas_ _5_ out of 5 Reviewed in United Kingdom on 2022-01-24 Shipped quickly and well packaged, worked correctly out of the box, setup was simple. I love everything about this small wood lathe, especially the CNC controller, all projects are finished automatically. I've used this unit several times making from bowls to table legs. All the pieces are high quality. There is no wobble or shake. I've continued using the CNC lathe without issue in the last few months. T #### _Tynset_ _5_ out of 5 Reviewed in Canada on 2021-08-13 The lathe is awesome, sturdy made and runs smooth. Love the variable speeds and easy adjustable. Especially the CNC controller, it makes all turning automatically. The CNC lathe meets all expectations. I would highly recommend this unit to any one. K #### _Kermit Deramus_ _4_ out of 5 Reviewed in the United States on 2021-04-10 Replaces a 60+ year-old Craftsman wood lathe. A nice piece of machinery for the beginner, or the next step up, for a home based wood-butcher hobbyist. Enjoy the sawdust you'll create, Tech support is responsive and concise. Good deal all around... STYLECNC also offers lots of tools L #### _Leah A Harrison_ _4_ out of 5 Reviewed in United Kingdom on 2021-04-06 This was an anniversary gift to my husband. I don’t know if it’s a good starter lathe for beginners. My husband had machine shop in high school so he had experience with metal lathes, this one is for wood. He loves it. We had one a wood lathe from Grizzly Industrial to begin with that worked just fine, but no CNC controller. This STYLECNC branded machine with CNC, according to my husband is extremely smooth running and the variable speed control is a luxury to enjoy. He was happy with the gift overall. I'm very happy with this purchase. Its a bit more expensive than some other lathes but well worth it. I would definitely purchase it again. S #### _Samuel_ _4_ out of 5 Reviewed in Australia on 2020-03-20 This is my first lathe to own. I have used a number of other lathes and this one is at the top. It is very quiet and smooth. The great lathe machine that not only turns bowls. I also make wood spindles on this lathe. This is plenty powerful for almost any job within the size limit of the lathe. Perfect for all my projects. It is an excellent tool for making wood stair balusters. Speed settings are easy to change. It will give you a good range of speeds for just about any project. C #### _Chloe_ _4_ out of 5 Reviewed in United Kingdom on 2019-10-02 Great lathe machine. My husband has gotten into woodturning and this was the best beginner machine for him. He is making pens, bowls, vases, wine bottle stoppers and all kinds of things. It is a small size to just get started, it has worked well, he seems very happy with it. M #### _Morgan_ _5_ out of 5 Reviewed in Russia on 2019-08-24 I've had mine for about two years, and I like it. It's much better than the craftsman lathe I used to use. The variable speed is nice, and finish is excellent. This I think would be a good investment for someone looking for a CNC wood lathe. B #### _Brad Eley_ _5_ out of 5 Reviewed in the United States on 2017-07-23 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. #### Leave Your Review 1 to 5-star rating5 stars4 stars3 stars2 stars1 star ##### Share Your Thoughts with Other Customers Review Title Your Name Your Email Your Review Guest Post Captcha ![Click To Change Captcha]() Submit Your Review ## Further Reading ### Twin-Spindle CNC Lathe Machine for Wooden Pool Cues Making STL1516-2A[Prev Product](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/industrial-wood-turning-lathe-machine.html "Twin-Spindle CNC Lathe Machine for Wooden Pool Cues Making") ### Mini Benchtop Wood Lathe for Small Wood Crafts & Arts STL0410[Next Product](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/mini-wood-lathe-for-wood-turning.html "Mini Benchtop Wood Lathe for Small Wood Crafts & Arts") ## Related Stories ![CNC Wood Lathe Machine Troubleshooting]() 2026-03-21By Charles ### [CNC Wood Lathe Machine Troubleshooting](https://www.stylecnc.com/user-manual/Why-CNC-wood-lathe-error.html "CNC Wood Lathe Machine Troubleshooting") ![23 Most Common Wood Lathe Problems and Solutions]() 2026-03-21By Charles ### [23 Most Common Wood Lathe Problems and Solutions](https://www.stylecnc.com/cnc-solutions/wood-lathe-troubleshooting.html "23 Most Common Wood Lathe Problems and Solutions") ![10 Best Wood Lathes You Can Pick In 2026]() 2026-03-07By Evelyn ### [10 Best Wood Lathes You Can Pick In 2026](https://www.stylecnc.com/blog/10-best-wood-lathes.html "10 Best Wood Lathes You Can Pick In 2026") ![7 Common Types of Wood Lathe Machines]() 2024-06-03By Charles ### [7 Common Types of Wood Lathe Machines](https://www.stylecnc.com/blog/wood-lathe-machine-types.html "7 Common Types of Wood Lathe Machines") ![A Guide To Buy The Best CNC Wood Lathe Machine]() 2023-10-07By Carrie ### [A Guide To Buy The Best CNC Wood Lathe Machine](https://www.stylecnc.com/cnc-solutions/guide-to-buy-the-right-cnc-wood-lathe-machine.html "A Guide To Buy The Best CNC Wood Lathe Machine") ![How to Use a Wood Lathe for Beginners?]() 2022-05-12By Christina ### [How to Use a Wood Lathe for Beginners?](https://www.stylecnc.com/blog/how-to-use-wood-lathe.html "How to Use a Wood Lathe for Beginners?") ## Related Products ![Top Rated Self-Feeding CNC Lathe Machine for Woodworking]() STL1530-A 4.9 (91) $7,280 - $9,880 ### [Top Rated Self-Feeding CNC Lathe Machine for Woodworking](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/automatic-feeding-cnc-wood-turning-lathe-machine.html "Top Rated Self-Feeding CNC Lathe Machine for Woodworking") ![Multifunctional CNC Wood Lathe with Automatic Feeder]() STL2530A-4T 5 (37) $11,500 - $13,000 ### [Multifunctional CNC Wood Lathe with Automatic Feeder](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/Multi-function-CNC-wood-lathe-with-automatic-loading-system.html "Multifunctional CNC Wood Lathe with Automatic Feeder") ![Dual-Spindle Automatic CNC Wood Lathe for Baseball Bats]() STL1516-2 4.8 (63) $6,380 - $7,680 ### [Dual-Spindle Automatic CNC Wood Lathe for Baseball Bats](https://www.stylecnc.com/wood-lathe/Double-axis-automatic-cnc-wood-lathe-for-baseball-bat.html "Dual-Spindle Automatic CNC Wood Lathe for Baseball Bats") ### STYLECNC
