The 10 x 20 Model m1016 Shop Fox Lathe by Woodstock International is the perfect sized lathe for the small shop due to the small bench space required for a lathe that will do surprisingly large tasks. Being a little under 4' in width and just on 2' deep, this is a metal lathe worth considering if you're looking at getting your first lathe or upgrading from a micro lathe.
Powered by a ¾ horse power single phase 110 volt motor that runs at 1725 RPM, there are six spindle speeds from 150 rpm up to 2400 rpm all actuated by a trigger giving you the control required for turnings from delicate to deep, quick cuts with fine finish.
Dewalt 18 Volt Saw
A 5inch, 3 jaw chuck, 9 ¾ inch swing over bed and 20 inch between centers cater for most of the projects any model maker or hobbyist will need from a midi lathe. Gear changes are not difficult and the chuck guard has automatic shut down if lifted.
Some things to watch for when using this or any lathe are:
* Loud motor or overheating when cutting may be feed rate too high or cut too deep.
* Lathe vibrates on start up and when running may be caused by unbalanced work piece, unaligned belts or worn spindle bearings.
But before you get to this problem, a lot of work will have passed over the lathe bed. Bad or rough surface finish will often be caused by incorrect rpm or too high feed, cutting tool set too high, tool incorrect for job or the tool cutting edge needs sharpening.
As with all lathes or machinery, keep the lathe clean. Never clean with bare hands and always with the power off. I have been in many machine shops and been appalled by the condition of the machinery and work areas. I know that some great work comes out of shops that look like a pigsty but would you leave your valuable project in a shop that looks like a bomb just went off?
For instance, if the chuck jaws are becoming hard to move then they haven't been cleaned well and there are probably metal chips or filings trapped in the jaw movement. This is the type of lack of attention that will lead to work piece damage due to incorrectly tightening chuck jaws.
Cleaning the lathe thoroughly after every use will give you many more hours of maintenance free work time.
The M1016 10 x 20 Shop Fox is not the cheapest lathe of this size on the market but, you get what you pay for and if you want to turn out precise work that you'll be proud of, you need equipment that has solid rigidity in build and fine adjustment in its workings.
There is a lot of talk on forums about cheaper lathes doing fine work and this may be so. But after you have had your lathe for some time, you'll appreciate the better quality of the M1016 and how it just keeps on working well giving great finish on a variety of metals and requires just basic maintenance. Parts and accessories for this brand of lathe are readily available and you don't have end up waiting for an overseas delivery time whenever you want that special tool such as a 4 jaw chuck.
All in all, this is a great midi lathe that you'll appreciate more and more with the work that you put through the Shop Fox 10x20 lathe.

The 1/2-inch hammer drill’s high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 535 unit watts out for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. The hammer drill’s patented three-speed (0-600 RPM; 0-1,250 RPM; and 0-2,000 RPM), all-metal transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the job at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current hammer drills on the market.
Impact Driver
Meanwhile, the impact driver’s robust motor delivers 2,800 RPM—up to 43 percent faster than current impact drivers on the market. Its one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips for convenient fastening in tight spaces. Research shows that impact drivers are growing in popularity largely because of their smaller size and lack of kickback (or reactionary torque) thanks to the impact mechanism within the tool. Combined with its 5.55-inch length and 3.4-pound weight, the premium impact driver packs a serious punch in a small package.
Circular Saw
The circular saw’s powerful motor (offering 460 max watts out) and ergonomic profile (with lightweight magnesium shoe and optimized handle design) are ideal for professionals tasked with framing, cross cutting, ripping, bevel cutting and plunge cutting. Delivering 3,700 RPM, this saw is 10 percent more powerful than previous DEWALT 6.5-inch cordless circular saws—and combined with its accompanying 3.0 Ah lithium-ion battery, it provides up to 57 percent more runtime compared with other leading 18-volt lithium-ion tools. Its bevel capacity of 0-50 degrees lends itself well to a variety of applications, and a 6.5-inch thin kerf carbide tooth blade provides users with the ability to cut completely through two-by framing lumber at a 45-degree bevel angle.
Reciprocating Saw
The reciprocating saw is compact and lightweight for access to tight areas (and it helps to reduce user fatigue). The keyless lever-action blade clamp makes for quick and easy blade changes, and the blade reverses for upside-down and flush cutting. Its 1-inch stroke length delivers 0-3,000 SPM for fast cutting. A variable-speed trigger with lock provides increased control, and an electric brake prevents blades from breaking with exiting plunge cuts.
LED Work Light
The work light comes equipped with additional lumens (110 total) for brighter visibility, delivering bright white LED light that reduces shadows and helps differentiate between colors. (An added bonus: The LED bulb creates less heat than conventional Xenon bulbs.) Its pivoting head rotates 120 degrees with 11 detent positions for a wide range of visibility, and the integrated hanging hook allows for hands-free capability. Users can expect up to 11 hours of light output when paired with the 3.0 Ah 20-volt max lithium-ion battery.
Endurance and Ease of Use
DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into all of these tools’ switches to provide maximum life by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The max 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt max lithium-ion battery technology, and the included Energy Star-qualified charger has dual voltage capabilities and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries. The tools’ slim handles fit easily into users’ hands, increasing the level of comfort during the course of long jobs, and the bright built-in LED work lights above the triggers have a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.
