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

Before buying I did my due diligence, read reviews and watched lots of youtube videos, so I though I knew pretty all I needed to know about this lathe. However, one thing I didn't know was that even though the thru-lathe bore is 32mm, the bore of the chuck is only about 20mm (I didn't measure it exactly)... Therefore, if you're counting on using the thru-bore to turn long pieces, know that you're limited to about 20mm in diameter with this chuck. If you're planning on machining something bigger that way, you'll need to either buy (and fit) a bigger chuck, a collet chuck or some alternative way of mounting your piece. VEVOR should mention this in the description because it misleads people (like me...) into thinking they're gonna be able use the thru-lathe bore on pieces up to 32mm in diameter...

Un bon petit tour après de nombreux réglages : tous les jeux , la poupée mobile : modification du socle de celui ci V mal usiné, socle voilé, calage en hauteur et transversal pour rattraper la hauteur de pointe. Réglage de la poupée fixe non parallèle au banc en fonte. Réglage du jeu de la vis mère. Aucun graissage effectué sur le tour. Pour faire du travail de précision je ne conseille pas ce tour si vous n' avez pas de notions d' ajustage. Il vous faut une bonne semaine pour tout remettre en ordre et travailler au dixième de millimètre sur 150 mm de long.

Very quick delivery! Well packaged and the machine arrived without damage. Overall build quality is very good. It runs reasonably quiet all the way up to a displayed 2500rpm. The feed-lever engagement is not very solid, will see how it performs when I start using the machine.

Preis Leistung sehr gut. . .

Super pour le prix et pour débuter.dommage aucune explication, un petit fascicule en anglais..... Rien concernant le changement des pignons, ni le réglage des outils, les points de graissage....etc....

The user did not leave any written comments.

The first unit the motor stopped working. I think it might be a little low on power for the turning size. I would recommend going to the 1200 watt version if thinking of buying. In the end they sent me a replacement unit so I can't complain.

The lathe tool post can not be angled to turn a taper. There is a plastic strip that would indicate that the tool post can be angled slightly but the post is fixed with no pivot. Not a complete lathe.

Since I have bought the lathe and VEVOR TOOK MY MONEY I have had nothing but. Trouble with the whole process. No money back ,no help to resolve the issue, this started before Christmas they won’t listen to me at all. Please sort it out.

Save your hard earned cash, spend a bit more and buy a much better lathe (unless you only plan to turn wood or plastic!)
