Customer Reviews for VEVOR 210 x 800 Mini Metal Lathe 850W Machine Variable Speed 50-2250 RPM

I purchased this 7 x 14 mini lathe with mixed expectations on the outcome since numerous people who have purchased the product have expressed there regret as to there purchase. So many negative comments, from to much grease to bad stickers to loose parts, noise, shipping issues, i can go on and on. It's like someone does not like these machines period. If you want an excuse not to buy on... go to the web. I purchased it, used it HARD all day for 2 days straight . I know the heat is coming for my expressions but the truth is the truth. They are Good.

I bought this on another site for about $430. I was hesitant, but figured I'd risk it. I'm not upset. You should have a bit of experience using one if you're going to buy this though. The tail stock isn't centered, but it is adjustable. Also, people worry about the nylon gears. Well, I screwed up and flipped it from forward to reverse instead of turning the knob to off, then freaked out and turned it back lol. Yea, they grinded like crazy then, but they still work fine and don't make any additional noises or anything. And thats after about 50 hours of work on it.

Quoted elivery times are all lies, Hunter Express are a joke. Unit went on special the week after i paid 1040. I was very cranky and extremely demanding of the sales person. Sales team memeber maintained a professional attitude but did keep asking me to be patient which made me even more cranky with this whole purchase. Sales team gave me a great refund after the delivery so in the end I was happier. The unit itself is a great unit, i dont know anything about lathes but i turned out my first project and am very happy with the outcome. Im still working on some rigidity issue, mostly due to the cross slide i believe. I will never buy from Vevor again though, cant handle being lied to and the delivery agent they use need to become insolvent, they dont deserve to be in the business of delivering goods given they were weeks past the due dates, grrrr

Yes I am pleased basically overall.The only thing I had to was to tighten the grub screw on the sadle wheel.The lathwe seems quite acruate. The only thing thing I do not like is not getting replies to my e-mails re I want to purchase a Tail stock Drill Chuck and the price for same. The only other thing is a Phone number in Australia so I can purchase accesseries and not given a www.----site I really want to talk to someone. Regards Alan Tomkins

Unsure about accurate description as it appears to be a return, maybe used. See the photos and decide yourself. Shipped quickly and arrived ahead of schedule, well padded and crated.Shipping may have loosened bolts, nuts and the like. All the listed tools were included. It powers up and has run at 200 rpm as a preliminary test. So far so good…albeit somewhat noisy. I gave 4 Star Avg. due to its used appearance and I have yet to perform a simple test cut.

A little cleaning and adjusting here and there and this is a pretty decent little lathe for light work. Tons of YT videos on how to improve them out there. I’ve cut everything from plastic to stainless steel with it and it works. Don’t expect machine shop quality but if you’re looking for a hobby level mini metal lathe this fits the bill.

This will do the job but worried about the plastic gears instead of metal.

The worst part is the booklet...rather poorly done Otherwise no complaints. Grahame Smith

Lo bueno, es muy buena máquinaLo malo es que no viene ajustadopero bien al fin.!!

Some bent parts and broken plastic I’d like to assume from shipping, but assembly wasn’t great either. Fortunately, probably anyone that wants this is more than happy to fix this little stuff since since it’s a tinkerers thing anyway. Well worth the money for light stuff.
