I ordered this lathe fully knowing that it's Chinese made and would need some work. I personally enjoy building and modifying tools so I've had more fun repairing and upgrading the lathe then really making anything with it. It says it's a 7-in capacity but that is not true in reality I usually don't get more than about three or four inches. And you have to be creative with your tool positioning to do so. However it can be upgraded with a longer cross slide lead screw if you're into that kind of thing. I'm very happy with vevor. They actually gave me 20% off when I complained about some of the small issues with the lathe. I replaced the cross slide and compound slide Gibbs with Gibbs I bought from Little machine shop and I've been very happy with the lathe. Granted if I could afford a bigger one I would have a bigger one so if you can afford a bigger one I would recommend get the 9 in or 8.7 in version they offer. It's a very fun hobby and I wouldn't have a lathe to play with if it wasn't for vevor. Overall very happy. PS you probably will want to get some new tooling as the stuff that comes with it will work but is not great.

It's a great product for the price. I wish they would supply a better operator's manual.

So far so good! This is a very preliminary review. This will be my first experience with the mini-lathe size machines, and I have just a few hours of hands-on experience learning some basics on a larger professional-grade lathe. At this point, I've only just unboxed, set up and inspected this "deluxe" version of the Vevor. For the very low price (less than half of many of the brand-names), I was expecting to get maybe mostly usable parts, but really more of a parts-kit than a machine usable out of the box. After initial inspection, not only does it appear that the parts are all good, but it also seems to be assembled and adjusted properly. the slides move easily but with no play in the dove-tail/gib areas. The gears (all-metal gear version of the Vevor) all mesh nicely and are well greased, motor is tightly mounted with good belt tension, and lead-screw turns easily with little play. The lathe powers up and speed control is smooth. Engaging the lead-screw drive train (moving the saddle by power-feed) does not seem to bog the motor down particularly. This lathe has a single speed range (direct belt from motor to spindle), but with a brushed motor rated at 550 watts (versus the 350 watt, geared dual-speed-range arrangement of most other budget models I considered.) I don't imagine this motor will produce as much torque as the more expensive brushless single-speed-range options, but hopefully it will be adequate. I think before I tear it down to clean and tweak, I'll try taking some soft-metal cuts to get a baseline on the factory adjusted state. At such a low price, I'm surprised that even seems like an option. Excited!!! I'll try to update within a few weeks.

Received in good condition, well packaged. All components were there, nothing missing. After cleaning the awful grease that covered everything and properly lubricated everything, I set in to make measurements and adjustments.The headstock runout was about 1thou, kind of expected for these cheap lathes. Ways were flat to about 1 thou after shimming and mounting to a heavy bench. The tail stock is absolute junk … it was 25 thou out of alignment. I could adjust the horizontal alignment, but the vertical was too high so nothing could be done to correct it other than machining the guide that sits on the ways.Unfortunately, the design is lame and the stock sits on an angle instead of sitting flat on the ways. To properly correct this, I’d need a 90deg chamfer bit for my mill but didn’t have one. I milled the opposite side to lower the stock so I could adjust it. I was able to align with the head stock to within 2-3thou. Total taper on a supported piece after turning it was still unacceptable. Getting a new tail stock.Yeah, I knew this would be a project, but didn’t expect the tailstock to be that bad. If you bought this and didn’t have a mill, this lathe would not be useable.I’m rating it 1 star so everyone is aware that if you buy this lathe you may not be able to get it in working order if you don’t have the tools and skills to fix it.There is truly NO quality control on this stuff so buyer beware.
