A drive shaft assembly for a portable lathe includes a first hollow shaft and a second shaft axially aligned with and telescopingly received in the first shaft, for permitting an effective length of the drive shaft to be altered within a limited range. The first and second shafts are also rotatable relative to each other. Opposite ends of the first and second shafts have uncovered joints including mounting flanges attached thereto, and a locking device is provided to lock both first and second shafts relative to each other after they have been adjusted to a desired axial and rotational orientation.
