4-in-1 Tool by Play Mat

Child working on the lathe.

My son (7) was given this 4-in-1 PlayMat Tool as a gift. It is a combination of 4 electric woodworking tools:

1. Disk Sander
2. Drill Press
3. Jig Saw
4. Lathe

Overall for a little tool, it is quiet and safe. My son has enjoyed shaping the wood dowel segments on the lathe. And cutting and sanding the thin sheets of plywood included in the kit. The plan-book that it comes with is quite well thought out. Though most of the PlayMat is plastic, it is quite strong and seems to be holding up well so far.
