Customer Reviews for VEVOR Metal Lathe 7"x12",Precision Bench Top Mini Metal Lathe 550W, Metal Lathe Variable Speed 50-2500 RPM Nylon Gear With A Movable Lamp for Precision Parts Processing

Very good garage machine. I use mine to make motorcycle parts and other little jobs just recently used it to turn down a set of race car shock mounts it dose an excellent job. You have to center up the tail stock check all screws and bolts and set the cross slide tension. I recommend adding a live center, drill chuck, quick change tool post and good quality tooling.

This is a good little machine that is nice for beginners, who just are starting to work with it. I'm happy with this purchase. I have no complaints.

Nice little machine not bad for beginners just starting out. Very happy with this purchase. I have no complaints so far

As others have noted, you have to literally - no kidding, literally - tighten ever single thing on this lathe, or it will just fall off after a few minutes of use. But after that, this thing is tough and accurate enough. I have over 100 hours on mine, I have learned to work with it, the thing is still going strong.

Very easy to use and simple. Good for making tooling and small parts. Easy set up and came with basic tooling

Very nice piece of machinery just as described the only problem was that upon receiving it the little plastic Shield was broke other than that was in good condition

A very smooth, rugged unit. All as advertised. With great customer service. I wished they would include some tooling

Great little lathe and the price is the best i have found. This is the second one i have bought and use it in my shop regularly.

I knew from hundreds of other reviews that I would need to completely disassemble, clean and reassemble the entire lathe. I did that. I found the components to be well made and with care and engineering expertise when reassembling, this lathe can be aligned to be very accurate. But it is not that way out of the box. A lathe like that will cost you 4-5 times the price of this one.I ordered through Amazon because, if I found it to be completely destroyed when I opened the crate (as many have), I could return with no cost to me. Mine had some damage to minor parts but nothing I couldn’t accept.

The Lathe is what I need for small hobby projects. The lathe had the plexi shield broken in shipment, Customer service responded to my issue promply over the holiday week end and is shipping a new sheild.
