VEVOR Metal Lathe, 8.3'' x 29.5'' Benchtop Metal Lathe 0-2500 RPM Continuously Variable Speed 750W Brushless Motor Metal Gears with LCD Display Metal Lathe Machine

This particular lathe is different from the other low end lathes in that it has four speed ranges that effectively increase the torque of the small drive motor. The banjo is also different in that the forward, reverse, and neutral positions are positive, pinned detents (see attached photo). Other nice additions are a thread dial and felt wipers on the main bed. The chuck is a Sanou K11-100 and operates smoothly. Generally the fit and finish was better than expected however disassembly and a good cleaning are required as it comes slathered in shipping grease. Mine was rust free and had little or no mill swarf present. All the gibs must be adjusted as the lathe is not ready to run out of the box. Generally the machining is good enough to get accurate results without lapping in the ways. Vevor ships to the east coast from their Atlanta warehouse so delivery time was short.

I expected the minor dents and scratches. I cannot rotate the compound axis, as you can see there is measurement degrees but I cannot find a clamping/unclamping screw nor is there any information in the users manual. I would have put a 5 star review but this non moving compound is an issue with me.

Product is described perfectly. Had to figure our which size tooling works best 12mm works best

Out of crate plugged in would not turn. Started tracing wires to broken forward and reverse switch. Screw terminal broken. Over tighten screws. Customer service took 1 month and 38 emails to receive new switch. Now power feed didn't work. After adjusting works. Luckily I am master craftsman that can fix anything.

Thank you

I am new to lathe work but read several books so far. I bought a dial indicator long with the Lathe. I wanted to see what the repeatable would be so I cut a rod down then ran a dimension on it; put another rod in and cut it down and measure it and was able to get i/1000 on it. I think the lathe is awesome and would recommend it to anyone wanting a good lathe.

One piece broken upon arrival. Doesn't affect usage. Good sturdy machine.
