The lathe is cheap, but it punches slightly above its weight for that price. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxKGVtPhqZBB5AQXXFlU2kdd4mQhO6wlhl Its not that powerful, the working area is very narrow, and the tailstock effectively moves less than an inch. However, this is a pen lathe at its core and none of those things matter for that. This will turn pens without issue. By far the nicest feature is the adjustable speed and overall size. If you have a small worksurface this is a great option. One thing i have not seen in the reviews (maybe I didn't look hard enough) is that the tool rest has been updated for the 3421 over the 3420. The tool rest can now be set to sit well below the center line of the spindle. Given this was the largest complaint the community seemed to have for the 3420, I'm surprised WEN doesn't include this more in their marketing material.
This video is exactly what I needed. I am a beginner who has a somewhat short attention span. I enjoyed watching your video because it is organized and informative. I appreciate that you took the time out to explain these techniques. Thank you.
@@michaelr2526 When the guy is representing an organization or a publication, shows tools and "how to use them" and uses really poor technique, he exposes anyone following his example to danger. For example, when roughing, one should start in the middle, not at the far end of the wood.
Thank you so very much for all this information! I'm also a beginner just starting out on my late father's tools and this will really help me to work out what to do with his old chisels and if I should get myself a full set right away or not.
Finally found a video where a starting kit is well explained. You are not only mention what chisels we need but showing how they affect the cut. Thank you so much.
To note since I haven't seen it, at 9:22 you can see the chisel jump when his hand left the tool inside the workpiece causing the chisel jump, that's a great reason why a full face shield is a good call, and a learning experience of making sure you out of your work piece before you no longer have control of the tool your using
Using the parting tool while at the same time the caliper could be dangerous. The caliper could easily catch in the groove and come flying back at the operator. It would be better to stop the lathe and measure using the caliper with the machine no longer turning. It takes a little more time but would eliminate the danger.
I watched two of your videos and must compliment you on every aspect of each video.Packed with RELEVANT information,clearly and succinctly presented,health and safety emphasised,and delivered in calm friendly manner.Well done Sir, and thank you for sharing.
When using the skew to 'level'/straighten the cylinder, it is best used in a 'peeling' cut. Same for roughing with the SRGs (spindle roughing gouges). Start with the cutting edge high and the handle low, then raise the handle till the edge starts to cut. Essentially you are cutting on a tangent to the wood. If you are holding the tool more level you are pretty much using a scraping cut. A scraping cut does work, but almost always leaves a coarser surface, which means more sanding....
Hi there. Very nice explanation. I have similar tools. they are all blunt, bought them that way. I recently bought a Tormek 4. was wondering if you could give me so tips on how to sharpen those specific tools. they seem to old to find videos for. Please and thank you. I realise its almost 8 years ago. hope you still check this feed.
This guy is an excellent instructor. I would sooooooo recommend signing up taking classes. Seriously excellent instruction,printed documents and extra on extra on extra. Absolutely no disappointment
Wow that's really helpful. I just got a mini lathe to try it out see if I'd like turning and I do but the chisel set that came with it are very thin and weak. Definitely going to have to get a better set.
thank you so much for this, i decided to get a small lathe and the tools to go with it but when i unpacked them i realised i knew nothing about the tools or how the tools were used.
I remember reading years ago that everything that an amateur lather (ist?) produces seem to look like baseball bats. One of the first projects I had after I got my lathe was to turn legs for a table. I got it all done and put together, and it was only then that I remembered what I had read. They all looked baseball bats.
Great video for beginners. Well I am not a beginner just yet but I have been looking into getting into he field. I make large tassels for my business and I find it hard to find good wood turner or anyone that wants to make pieces for me. So I've decided to watch videos and learn the basics before buying anything. Anyone have a suggestion of what brand of lathe and tools to get for a beginner? I'll keep watching videos daily to get more familiar with the lingo.
Just got my first lathe - Delta 46-460 - and this answered a BUNCH of my questions. I subscribed - as - I think I'm gonna have LOTS of questions. Thanks for putting this up. Now .. so many brands. Which do I NOT waste my money on ?!?
*9:22** clock* so what you are saying is, don’t take your hands off? 😂 Seriously though, awesome video to get back to basics. Everyone will make tons of them and to see a video like this and hint at what can go wrong after investing time in the workpiece is really cool. It burns so bad when you at the end of an invested project and you accidentally whoopsie.
Just got an old Craftsman 13 inch lathe and a set of lathe chisels. Thanks to you and your splendid instructional video, I now know what each chisel is called and the purpose of each lathe chisel. This knowledge is exactly what I needed to get started. I watched one of your safety videos first and, just like this video, it was excellent. Thanks so much for your time, concern, personable teaching skills, and the benefit of your experience. You rock!!!
If you're going to use all the tools as scrapers, why not save money and just use a scraper? It seems you'll spend a lot more time sharpening by using a skew chisel that way.
Got my first lathe today, messed with some horrible soft pine and it chipped and blew apart and made a mess, but it was incredibly fun! I actually got a decent looking item out of it and I'm excited to try more! Home depot here I come...
Thank you so much. I used a lathe in high school 25 years ago and couldn’t remember much apart from loving it. Just bought a second hand lathe and tools. My 13 year old son is keen and this video will be great for him too.
Concise and informative. And just what I needed as a beginner. The video made it quite clear on how to use each chisel and what it's primary function was. I went straight out to shed after watching the video to try out the techniques.Thank you.
Cheers mate Ive just bought a begingers lathe ( expands to 1 metre ) it also came with three starter chisels .Your video has really helped me , and I need to add some new chisels lol . Thanks from across the pond 😊
Amazing man where you've been before how I couldn't see you before just amazing how you turned wood turning to a simple thing I couldn't believe my eyes thanks for every single word you've used in this video.
Very helpful video I'm just starting out and needed little help understanding the tools n what there all for n how to use the correct ones for the job 👍
I would call this the “quick start” guide to wood turning, which is exactly what I wanted. I started watching another video that described itself as a beginner video; the guy was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable but went into WAY too much detail. This was perfect. Thank you.
Can you recommend a set of the chisels they dont have to be cheap but not 500 dollars either I'm looking for a set that will do what's needed hold their edge not need sharpened every ten seconds for about 200 dollars is there something that u wud recommend and yes I have never turned anything other then I do do lathe work but only with metal I'm wanting to get into wood turning so I can make table legs and bowls
Thanks for the info. I'm not seeing the reason for a roughing gouge when you have a spindle gouge. Is there a good reason to have a roughing gouge? They seem redundant to me.
Thank you for this clear, informative video. I've just bought a second hand lathe and it has come with many chisels. Thanks to your video, I now know what each chisel is and how to use it. Thank you
Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a great video. I'm brand new at this and you gave me some confidence to use tools that I previously knew nothing about. Sincerely appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this is excellent information I'm surprised you don't have more comments I just started working and learning about turning and using a lathe thanks again bye for now look forward to hear from you Ken God bless
I am new to wood working and these videos are simple and the MOST valuable to a beginner. Others, some of them, assume you know to much...this gentleman seems to GET IT! He doesn't think he is a movie star... acts like he has a brain and just GREAT, SIMPLE advise....THANK YOU....well done.

This dude's clueless about turning. Get some real instruction form somebody that knows WTF they're doing/talking about.
@@sv650bighammer this wasn't a turning video douchebag, it was a video covering the basics of a starter set of tools
@@sv650bighammer I assume you have a channel that is way better than this one? Please send a link..

Thank you, so many turners just assume that us beginners know what to use for what.

Very informative and great introduction video, thanks for sharing it with us 🙏🏼
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Short and to the point. Great vid.
I haven't used a lathe since 1970.
I just bought one, so this vid was just what I needed.
Thanks for sharing, great and informative video and awesome job on showing what each chisels will do when using.... 💪🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Interesting. Thanks for the information.

just awesome. Gonna help a lot for beginners like me. Thnx a lot
Excellent step by step video. I just purchased a 12x18 King Variable wood lathe machine and here I go.

I need to know good quality brands that are affordable for a starter kit
Just getting started with a lathe and this was very clear, informative and helpful. Thanks !!
Excellent description of tool basics. Thanks!
Wonderful explanation - thank you:)

Great demonstration of the use of the chisels. Thanks!
I love this channel
Thanks ! Really well done, clear concise, useful information, for someone interested in starting this type of wood work
Great information!
I was always taught when using the roughing gouge you work inside to outside.
Thankyou. great presentation. I have just bought my first wood lathe, and appreciate your video.
Thank you for watching!
Wow, what an awesome video! You made it look so simple
Got my first lathe today, messed with some horrible soft pine and it chipped and blew apart and made a mess, but it was incredibly fun!
I actually got a decent looking item out of it and I'm excited to try more! Home depot here I come...
Ditch the pine and other softwoods ... It is inexpensive wood no doubt - but horrible for turning. If you must turn cheap wood - try basswood.
Thank you so much. I used a lathe in high school 25 years ago and couldn’t remember much apart from loving it. Just bought a second hand lathe and tools. My 13 year old son is keen and this video will be great for him too.
Hahah OMG! I have been using my tools all wrong. Thank you for this video. Now I need to watch one on how to sharpen…

fantastic video. thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
great work! thanks for this great video and this great information!
New to your channel and this was exactly what I was looking for to a intro 101 wood turning thank you
Hi, how it goin'? I'm curious why you refer to the tools, as Chisels. When they are really a Gouge. We don't Chisel, when woodturning!
Cheers mate
Ive just bought a begingers lathe ( expands to 1 metre ) it also came with three starter chisels .Your video has really helped me , and I need to add some new chisels lol .
Thanks from across the pond 😊
I’m a bit disappointed in myself but I learned a lot more than I imagined I would from this video, thanks for making it
Haha i respect the honesty
Very nice basic demonstration and explanation George! Thank you for a great year! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!
Thanks for the easy to understand instruction!
Thanks for taking the time to explain the tools.
really clear instruction thank you :)
Thank you so much I needed this lesson
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing man where you've been before how I couldn't see you before just amazing how you turned wood turning to a simple thing I couldn't believe my eyes thanks for every single word you've used in this video.
That was a great guide, thank you 🙏
We're so glad it was helpful!
Very helpful video I'm just starting out and needed little help understanding the tools n what there all for n how to use the correct ones for the job 👍

As always, excellent video. But for beginners, a mention of the need for different chisels for bowl/faceplate work would be helpful.
Excellent video but perhaps a little more information on the importance of RPM and the importance of direction of cut ie feed but excellent vid
I loved this video. Thank you SO MUCH. You're a natural teacher.
Glad it was helpful!
Show......constatei alguns erros que eu cometo durante o torneamento. Obrigado pelas explicações.
Good info for the beginner, thanks
How is that motor silent as church? 👏👏👏

Thank you. Novice at this. Really helps.
Wonderful for the beginner that's me thankyou
I am not seeing a clear difference between a one inch roughing gouge and one inch spindle gouge. Can someone explain?

Great intro for a beginner like me! Thank you.
Thank you Sir,
Thanks for explaining the chisel, I'm New to wood turning but I have a metal lathe that I use for all.
Thanks again from the UK.
Do you need different gouges for spindle vs. bowl turning?
Thank you very much mister!
This did help a lot

Great informative video. Professional and well done. Thanks guys!
Best introduction (by far) to not just a starter set, but also a good general understanding of these mysterious objects various shapes.
Thanks so much!
I come from Indonesia, here a lot of teak wood, if you are interested, I can export
