Crate was broken, loose nuts in the crate that I can't figure out where they go. Very noisy motor. It's cheaply made, poor quality materials, likely to last a short time.

Do not expect to use this lathe right out of the box. It requires extensive cleaning and adjustment before the first use. Shipping packaging is poor so expect to do shipping related repairs. tooling is all but useless. With a few inexpensive changes in the design the lathe could have been much better. I can see that I will need to spent at least another $400 to make this lathe usable.

Product started at the east coast, went to the west coast, passing Wisconsin where it was supposed to be delivered.Vevor would not reply to my emails. Finally when I received my order, wooden crate was damaged. The product inside was broken. I patched it together so I could get to work on my projects.The product itself is what it is…CHEAP…If you are buying anything from Vevor you must be mechanically inclined. Their products are not consumer friendly. I told myself, at least I got the product after all the hassle. I don’t know if Vevor is even in business anymore. I received emails from some mail service site explaining my emails could not be delivered to Vevor. Basically my emails were returned to me? I will never buy another thing from Vevor. Probably out of business anyway.

This is a very capable machine for the price. You will need to have some basic mechanical aptitude to set it up correctly and fine tune the machine as it is workable right out of the box but not great. After 3-4 hours of re-assembly, sanding down burrs, flattening certain slides with a stone, this machine is excellent. It machined a grade 5 bolt steel without issue. Very impressed

I Like this machine! Has all the features a large Lathe has but for small items!!

Haven't used it as yet but seems ok for the money. There is not enough information in the instructions and seems a bit vague...coming from a novice...

This thing is great for the price. You can turn aluminum brass and derlin right off the bat. And with a few of the mods showcased on youtube you can cut basically anything to a decent enough standard. This is not a precision machine, but for the price. No reasonable person would expect it to be. Great bargain

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
