VEVOR Metal Lathe Machine, 7'' x 13.78'', Precision Benchtop Power Metal Lathe, 0-2200 RPM Continuously Variable Speed, 500W Brush Motor Metal Gears, with Tool Box for Processing Precision Parts

Just received today ordered Yesterday! Box was undamaged, it was packed perfectly no damage and I unpacked far enough to plug it in and the machine powered up and ran!! More details when I get it out and mounted but gee whiz it looks good! As you can see by the pictures the Compound swivel adjustment is those two screw under the slide, just crank it back and its there. The tail stock adjustment is spot on both directions. I used an inexpensive Indexable carbide tool set from Amazon and it gave a wonderful finish as you can see. BTW a 3/8 inch 10 mm tool set was right on for the tool post mounted. Not the 1/2 inch 12 mm as some have suggested. Zero complaints I have owned many lathes in the past ranging from a South Bend Heavy 10 to a EMCO Super 11, all have required some learning and adjustments.

Great machine for the money. Plus the customer service was phenomenal. Highly recommend

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.

Have not tested yet but upon opening I found a screw that holds a gear in place missing and another double ended bolt is bent. Both are behind a cover that you have to remove to access the gears and belt system. There is also 1 bolt i found in the crate that holds the back shield in but is stripped. Tool rail is also sloppy.

nice little machine,not what i had at before retireing

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 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.

Works great. The increments on all the installed dials are very accurate. Able to get parts within 0.001 in no problem. Can't cut screws, the half nut dial will bite the lead screw and damage it.

Me ha llegado bastante bien ajustado de carros, aúm así hay que comprovar lo siempre. Se ve robusto, aunque el motor puede ser justito...pero por el precio no le pidas más. Rosca bien, de momento un paso 1.5 lo hace perfectamente. Las pasadas han de ser sin pasarse, pero insisto en que va ligado a la potència que tiene. Se pueden ajustar los engranajes, y lo recomiendo. Hay que ir cambiando piñones, pero claro, no le vas a pedir una caja Norton por el precio que tiene... Lo recomiendo para pequeñas labores en casa y con piezas de no más de 40mm de diámetro

Ottimo
