Customer Reviews for VEVOR Mini Metal Lathe Machine, 180 x 400 mm, 800W Precision Benchtop Power Metal Lathe, 150-2500 RPM Continuously Variable Speed, with 3-jaw Metal Chuck Tool Box for Processing Precision Parts

This lathe is pretty nice. I do want to specify make sure you order the 10mm lathe tools and not the 12, they will not line up with center. Don't forget to order a live center for those longer pieces.

Muy util para reparaciones pequeñas en taller a uso hobbie. buenos acabados de las piezas. merece la pena

poupée mobile de pietre qualité jeu trés important dans le fourreau difficille a corriger meme avec un fort serrage S A V Vevor contacté, au vu de la Vidéo transmise concernant le jeu du fourreau dans la poupée mobile, j'ai reçu une nouvelle poupée mobile. Une fois remplacée mon tour ne présente aucun jeu; merci VEVOR pour votre réactivité

Materiali buoni, alcune finiture un pò grezze ma a livello di solidità ci siamo. Consigliabile smontarlo e rimuovere eventuali trucioli rimasti dalla lavorazione prima di iniziare ad utilizzarlo. Dettaglio migliorabile, si potrebbe aggiungere un kit di attrezzi da tornitura, anche base.

Très bonne qualité pour le prix d’achat j’ai déjà machine plusieurs morceau et je suis vraiment surpris Le seul coter un peut plus négatif et la vitesse du feed ses assez compliqué de changer les c’est mais un coup tu la fait sa va bien après

Very capable small machine. I am very satisfied with the overall product. I do however recommend a complete reassembly of the machine when it first arrives to clean parts and make small adjustments. Working with non-ferrous materials is easy. It's only when working with steel where the limitations start to show. But by locking the gibs you can make the machine stiff enough to do parting opertation in steel parts but it will take longer than on a bigger machine. Same goes for thread cutting and boring. The motor runs quiet and has good power, it does however start cogging at low RPMs. If you engage the feed the gears can be a bit more noisy but they are easy enough to adjust so they run smoothly. My only real issue is with the tailstock. It is meant for a smaller machine bed and does not sit properly on the ways. Also, the thread cutting table is incorrect. There are better combinations of the included gears for most of the thread pitches shown in the table, I recommend doing the calculations yourself. There are also some cost saving measures that you should be aware of before buying this lathe. This is not meant as a critique, but I just wanted to state that some parts will have some optical damage. I suspect these were rejected by other brands which is why this lathe is comparatively cheap. I have not noticed any negatives with the functionality of these parts despite the smaller marks. Lastly, there is no handwheel dial on the main saddle. This is why I recommend installing a DRO for ease of use. For other upgrades I recommend making an actual round handwheel for the cross and comound slides yourself once you have the lathe. This makes feeding per hand a bit easier in my opinion. I also needed to install a few shims underneathe the saddle (between the carrige and the apron) the to get a smoother sliding action along the ways. You can also make a small cover for the apron so that chips don't get between the gears. I would recommend this machine for hobbyists such as myself.

De draaibank werkt naar behoren de kwaliteit is goed hier en daar wat aandacht punten die ik zelf naar mijn eigen zien heb kunnen maken. Ik ben er heel erg blij mee

A bit dissatisfied with low rev limit. Needs mechanical tuning/ surface matching. Good price!

Bin sehr zufrieden damit, danke

Buon prodotto, peccato non abbia la torretta porta utensile regolabile in altezza, per centrare gli utensili e il carrello parallelo non si può inclinare per poter tornire la diagonale
