Customer Reviews for VEVOR Metal Lathe 7 x 12 Inch, Precision Mini Metal Lathe 2250 RPM 400W Variable Speed, Mini Lathe Precision Bench Top Metal Working Lathe for Various Types of Metal Turning

Does exactly what I,bought it for. I have a small shop and it fits in perfectly.. Could not have used a bigger lathe.

Nice little machine, was well set up from the factory, I added a few perks as in the quick change toolpost and live center, also steel gear set. I spent a little time checking bolts , gib adjustments, cleaning, aligning center with the chuck. I must admit, everything was fairly close and machine runs quietly.

Verry well pack works better than expected all measurements are spot on.only problems was gear chart not right. I would have gave a five star rating but like I said the gear chart wrong

Item arrived on time. solid construction. love the additional pieces. can't wait to spend time withit

Small, high speed, very useful little lathe. I bought it to make a few little things and love it. Tools are a bit cheesy but good chisels are not expensive.

Great little machine for small projects, but wish I would’ve spent the extra and got the more horsepower motor

Small out of the box issue that was taken care of quickly by outstanding customer service department. Easy to use and great price.

I looked and hunted, and hunted and looked at a lot of small metal cutting lathes before I decided to buy this one. I even went and looked at several first hand just to see what they were and how they were built. I have to say that I am very pleased with this lathe. I bought the 8x14 version and couldn't be happier with my purchase. All I had access to before was my brother-in-law's old Craftsman metal lathe and after working with my Vevor lathe a few times has made me realize just what a piece of junk that Craftsman was compared to this Vevor. Being a retired machinist of 46 years helps you recognize good tools from bad tools pretty easily. Definetely several steps up!! Excellent little lathe!!

Super Quick Shipping..Great Value.Versatile machine.Excellent Customer Service ! Incredible Variety of Stocked items for immediate shipping.

I ordered this Lathe after months of reading reviews, watching various manufacturers and models on U-Tube, viewing feedback on the various websites, etc. I have a mechanical background and have been using tools and equipment in and out of the shop for upwards of fifty five years, from what I was reading and seeing the majority of the issues listed are the same you would have with setting up any precision machine. Knowing that, and the fact it had the brushless motor option. Brushed motors will not perform in a 7" X 10" lathe let alone a 8" 210X800 bench top beast. I was pleasantly surprised that the manual included with the lathe said in fact that this is the current production lathe powered by a 1100 Watt brushless motor - even better or so I thought. It arrived in due time with some light forklift damage to the shipping package clearly noted by the shipper and me, the damage to the lathe was mostly in the back splash area. My son gave me a hand mounting her to the bench, good and level ready for a good cleaning. The lathe had a good coat of cosmoline, No rust Good, No metal filings or grinding debris, Good. What this Behind the motor cover? A small brushed DC motor, brush caps and all, and a equally small DC motor Controller board. What? I honestly wonder how many Vevor customers think they bought a lathe with a brushless motor from Vevor lathe? I contacted Vevor and was told in writing "to date as of March 2023. None of our lathes have ever had a brushless motor Not a single one!" They also said "750 watt brushed motor is standard equipment for this Lathe". Their misleading ads... No assets in the USA... Back to the good part whoever built this lathe and assembled it did it like they were working in Colonial Hong Kong! Hats off to them. I really mean Hats off to them! Everything was in the box, metal gears, center rest, Live center, dead center. Ways are properly ground and true. The Chuck and spindle runout almost perfect. The only real issue besides the motor i
