If the legs are very small, I would just clamp the piece in the collet and let it turn freely-it just depends on the piece. The Proxxon has variable speeds that will help in the work. Then, it is just a matter of some careful turnings. I use mine for model ships and have made some very small parts with it. **Q: Will a #2MT mandrel fit in it?** A: The lathe comes with a fitting that accepts collets up to 5/16 inches. You can also scrw a 3 or 4 jaw chuck on the fitting. A #2MT mandrel is about .9 inches in diameter, so, no, I do not think it would fit. **Q: Can I turn hardwood on this lathe? If not can someone suggest me a lathe that's at least decent and can turn hardwood wood pens and spindles?** A: This micro lathe can turn hardwood spindles within its limitation. It is made and is ideal for very small work, such as masts, spars, and other small turnings for ship models and other such work. For work the size of pens, knobs, small candlesticks, Christmas ornaments and spindles of similar size, a mini lathe such as the Jet or Rikon would be better and more suited to this somewhat larger work. Such mini lathes are similar in price to this Proxxon micro, but they are somewhat larger and more robust, better for work like pens, knobs, candlesticks, etc. You need and can use the same miniature tools for the mini lathe that you might use on the micro, and they are available in sets at a lower price than full size lathe tools. **Q: height from base(floor) to center of spindle?** A: Àbout 1.25 inches. But this is a micro lathe and because of the nature of the available chucks, the the relatively weak motor and the fastening mechanism for the tool rest the actual size of any workpiece is more limited than that measurement might indicate. Also, the lathe is so light that it must be fastened down or weighted. I used an Oak board I bought at a home improvement store. If you want a bench top lathe that you can actually make stuff on that is larger take a look at the Nova Comet II here on Amazon. I have one and I really LOVE it!! ## Frequently Bought Together - PROXXON MICRO Woodturning Lathe DB 250, 37020 , Green - Proxxon 27026 Three jaw chuck for lathe DB 250, Silver - Proxxon 27028 Drill chuck with sliding sleeve for tailstock of DB 250, Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/5693143-37020-db-250-micro-woodturning-lathe](https://www.desertcart.no/products/5693143-37020-db-250-micro-woodturning-lathe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
