⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Machinery Repair Shop Owner
"The Hq800 Base Model has been a game-changer for our small repair shop. I’ve used it daily since purchasing in February 2025, and after 7 months of constant use, it hasn’t missed a beat. The manual control gives me full precision, and the 130mm spindle bore handles most of our lathe needs. The digital display is a nice touch—makes setup adjustments quick and accurate."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Rodriguez - Aerospace Component Fabricator
"We upgraded to the Hq800 Pro Model for our prototyping line, and it's been worth every penny. Purchased in October 2024, we’ve been pushing it through titanium and high-strength alloys with zero deflection. The 30% larger spindle bore allows us to work on complex shafts without secondary fixturing. Swiss-style precision at a fraction of the CNC cost. Safety interlocks give our team confidence during long shifts."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Lin - Automotive Restoration Specialist
"Running the Advanced Model in my garage workshop since January 2025. It’s been solid—handles cast iron and aluminum with ease. The adjustable tool mounts let me switch between restoration jobs quickly. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the weight—it’s not truly ‘portable’ without a lift truck. But once set up, it’s rock-stable. Great for custom shafts and bushings."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clara Meier - Swiss Stone Artisan
"I was skeptical a metal lathe could handle marble components, but the Hq800 Pro Model exceeded expectations. Bought in May 2025, using it for precision-turned stone spindles in luxury interiors. The sturdy steel frame prevents vibration, which is critical when working with brittle materials. The manual control allows me to feel the cut—something CNC can’t replicate. A masterpiece of engineering."Purchase Date: May 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Tom Harris - Technical Instructor
"We purchased three Base Models for our machining program in December 2024. After 8 months of student use, they’ve held up remarkably well. The integrated safety guards and interlocks are essential in a classroom setting. Students learn real manual skills without the complexity of CNC. Only downside: the instruction manual could be more detailed for beginners. Otherwise, excellent for hands-on training."Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months

Markus Weber - Industrial Machining Consultant (15+ years experience)
"The Hq800 series stands out in the manual lathe market for its Swiss-style build quality and customization flexibility. The Pro Model, in particular, meets ISO 9001 standards for industrial reliability and is ideal for high-tolerance sectors like aerospace and medical device manufacturing. Its manual operation doesn’t detract from precision—it enhances operator skill development."
Dr. Linda Park - Occupational Safety in Manufacturing Specialist
"Few manual lathes today come with integrated interlocks and full guarding as standard. The Hq800’s safety-enhanced design makes it one of the safest manual turning centers available, especially for training environments or shared workshops. I recommend it for any facility prioritizing operator protection without sacrificing performance."
