Customer Reviews for VEVOR Metal Lathe Machine, 200 mm x 350 mm, Precision Benchtop Power Metal Lathe, 50-2500 RPM Continuously Variable Speed, 500W Brush Motor Metal Gears, with Tool Box for Processing Precision Parts

Just need to clean it all up and maybe take some burrs off it is very smooth once you do that. I made this little part out of aluminum with it, just with a quick change tool post added. I have since taken it apart, cleaned and debured it and it’s really smooth now. For the money I’m happy with the purchase

Great buy! Suprised by the fast service after purchase. I will definetly be using VEVOR in the future!

I purchased a lathe but it was never delivered. Vevor made no attempt to find it. Vevor solved the problem by issuing me a refund. I never asked for a refund. I just wanted the item.

It is a nice machine , it needs a lot adjustment to work like it should. I love 4 different speed ranges,which makes great for threading. I .would buy again

Arrived slightly beat up from handling. Just a few dents, but nothing that was not fixable. I am impressed with the quality. It actually had metal gears. I thought the start solenoid PB was faulty. The company is sending a replacement. But further investigation: After further investigation I discovered that the coil connects between terminal #4 (120 vac supply) then once the PB is pushed then to termina A1. A1 needs a neutral connection to hold the contacts in. This lathe was wired incorrectly as the A1 wire went to forward reverse switch terminal 9 then to terminal 10 which connected to the supply terminal on the board. That wire connected to the F/R switch #10 should have been connected to the neutral J1 terminal on the board, not the supply. So, it appears that the original switch was not bad, only a wiring mistake at Vevor. Even their print is incorrect. Check it out!

Works well. Has more power and is more precise out of the box than I was expecting. The shipping took several weeks longer than advertised, when I contacted Vevor they said it was lost and offered a refund, then it finally arrived, so no refund. Weeks of precious project time were tied up in waiting for it to arrive. It seems to be a good machine, though time will tell. Just don't expect it to arrive without significant delay.

I'm a beginner lathe wannabe. I read dozens of reviews and a good of those reviews number TRASHED Vevor lathes. Lots of complaints about the need to work on the lathe to obtain maximum accuracy. YES, right out of the crate will give you an accuracy measured in tenths(!). I finally ordered Vevor and KNEW I'd have to mess with it to get the advertised maximum accuracy and make numerous adjustments to this mass produced ~200 pound hunk of Chinese metal. No problem. Good thing I experienced in tearing down and rebuilding car engines. I have many talents and skills and tools as far as machines are concerned. So I spent several days FINE TUNING this thing. Now it's working well (but I'm not fully familiar with metal lathe operations). I'm getting closer to reliable thousandths. MY POINT: The thing was shipped around the world and got knocked around during shipment. How can anybody expect a 200 pound chunk metal to be accurate to thousandths right out if the box?? YOU MUST SPEND HOURS WITH IT TO TUNE IT UP! PLUS? we have hundreds off guys on the net who are very willing to offer helpful advice if you were to come up against a problem that resists your DIY skills. Vevor. They make thousands of these machines so I trusted them to send me (us) a product which definitely has the POTENTIAL to be very accurate AFTER the new buyer spends hours tuning it.

It didn't come perfect but for the price to get started its great!

Very good quality and good price, it is made with good materials which gives the operator the ease of working with various materials and not worrying about changing parts at all times

super quality, fast delivery, it came in a wooden crate when was the last time you saw that,a super machine, don't fool around if you need a mini precision lathe, this is the one , thanks John
