Would this lathe be any good for making magic wands? I want to start woodturning small wands to sell.

Good morning, This lathe can take material of up to 250mm in length. Kind regards, Francesca Customer Service

Could anyone turning pens tell me if they use the face plate or one of the chucks (which one?) Thanks!

I use the included collet chucks, the 7mm (6.17mm) mandrel fits into the 6mm collet and the 8mm should fit into the 8mm collet. It is possible to fit a mandrel into a three jaw chuck however I haven't tried it but would expect it to slip. don't use the 4 jaw chuck because the jaws are individually tightened and will be off centre.

I want to use a pen mandrel that has a diameter of 6mm. Is it possible to use to use it just by buying this? Or would i need to buy chucks seperatly?

It comes with various collets and the largest is 10mm

does this come with the faceplate?

I bought this for making masts and spars for ship modelling, do the diameter of the wood is small 4-8mm. It comes with a basic faceplate but I never use it. I bought this to go with it. The chuck works great for what I need it for. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000S5LLFU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
