If you're talking about the one that use's the drill? I suspect you'll be dis-appointed trying to turn wood with it. I dont own one, but I do have a Rikon Midi lathe and turn wood, acrylic, cork, and such and I cant imagine trying to do it on a drills power. It would be ok for cork, but my GUESS is that'd be about it.

Others that have one might set me straight.....
