Customer Reviews for VEVOR Compound Milling Machine Worktable 450x170mm 2 Axis Cross Slide Drill Vise

First, I needed to completely disassemble and clean crud from all surfaces. cleaned all threads; honed ways, dovetails and gibs (which also spent the night in Evapo-Rust); lubricated all moving parts; adjusted the preload on the thrust bearings; reassembled and adjusted gibs. Now it works very smoothly and as accurately as I expected. This product is a beast and is worth the money if you have the time to work on it before use.Problems I encountered beyond the above: one of the 4 mounting holes apparently lost its sand during casting, so I had to drill it out, the hand wheels are very wobbly (but usable), and there was a lot of red paint on machined surfaces.

works great ty for a great item .

I watched a review of a similar table from Vevor. but was not interested in spending the extra money so I purchased this one. I received this and completely disassembled the entire device. Cleaned the guides. Deburred all of the sharp edges and tuned up the bearing races as the jam nuts used to hold it all together are awful I mean not even concentric !!! After about 2 hours I was able to get this to work very well.Again it is an inexpensive table but with a little elbow grease and attention to detail it works good enough for my purposes. That being said it was a good purchase. I might swap out the acmes at a later date but for now it is fine.

If you want a simple work table to use, especially for your drill press, this is a great table to consider and purchase. I found it to be accurate enough for what I am going to do with it. Is this something to use a professional machine shop and for cranking out a ton of parts? No -- but that should be apparent by the price point.The table requires some prep work once it arrives. This is what I did:1) Unwrapped and sprayed it down with brake cleaner to get all the nasty oil/grease off2) Disassembled the entire unit and sprayed it down again3) Took a wire brush to all the channels and guide areas to remove excess paint4) Sanded down the top deck to make sure it was truly flat5) Filed down all the spacers in the channel guides to remove any burrs6) Took a dremel with a sanding drum and knocked down all the edges7) Reassembled and greased the guides

The overall quality is good, after you clean it up and adjust the gibs. Unfortunately, I needed something a lil more accurate and with more travel for the lower rails.

Nice little table, small and 10 m/m slots. Had a little problem finding correct clamping kit. Heavy and nicely made.

Solid little XY table for benchtop drill presses that can be made amazing with a bit of TLC. Just understand that it will need dissasembly and a little cleanup of paint in the ways and gib adjusment to get things nice and tight.

I received mine and took it apart and cleaned all the shipping coatings. Applied some ways oil to all sliding surfaces and spindle oil to the threaded hand wheel screws, adjusted the gibs to tighten up play/backlash. Set on my drill press and made a quick test run on some Delrin block. I was very pleased and now can use my drill press for some basic milling on light materials which is exactly why I purchased it. Mission accomplished and I'd recommend it.BTW it is very heavy so you'll most likely need to brace your drill press table - depending on its sturdiness.

Decent value for the money. Biggest complaint is the the bottom adjustment wheel sits below the bottom of the plate. If you plan to mount to a large table like a commercial sized drill press you cannot center it under the bit.You need to take apart and stone the ways they were very rough. Acme threads were bent and you cannot adjust the backlash out of it. But for a drill press its nice for the price point.Casting is very rough but after adjusting the ways it's actually pretty smooth.For a home gamer it does well

Those complaining about lack of accuracy due to backlash (to the other reviewer complaining about hysteresis, this term is generally applied to magnetic fields while backlash is the correct term for mechanical systems), will need to spend at least double or more to get near zero backlash. For the purpose of routers or drill presses, you cannot beat this XY table for the price. I will probably buy another one to mount on my lathe. This is a beast of a table that is reasonably well made and achieves nearly industry level toughness, while not promising .001 accuracy that would be unreasonable in this price range.
