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
