You have offered the hard sell approach which means I will avoid this product. Stick to used cars.

Can this trim kit be used as is if you have a moen standard valve?

Why didn't you put some aluminium or brass in and demonstrate what the mini lathe is designed, or specifically claimed to be able to cut. The video would have been far more beneficial if you say put a half inch/13mm ally bar in and turned it down using precision measurements on the dial gauges and comparing with a micrometer. I have a big powerful lathe in my workshop but down bellow ten millimetres it becomes incapable. One of these cheap mini lathes could be the answer.

Will it take 1xT8 chucks?

Can you link to the metal gears that you mentioned, and maybe even do a video showing how to install them??? Do you know if extensions for the waze are available??? Thanks in advance!!!

Hey man you think this could machine carbon or stainless steel??

when it is moving by itself how does the cutter stop before hitting the chuck? can you set a limit untill it auto disengages?

Thanks for posting this review!!! Well done

are you able to add another chuck in the carriage so i can get bore through a cylinder? Drill bit on one end, and the metal bar stock in the other chuck?

I looked at that lathe and what killed it for me was the lack of gearing. It's really just a cheap wood turning lathe with delusions of grandeur.

What i f i wanted to change device to the diagnoal holes? Isnt that possible?

This aiint a lathe its a damn toy. 😂😂😂

is the bench from vevor too?

No... you want the set screw facing down... that's why there is a cutout on the bottom of the tub spout.

Turn the water off?

I bought one recently and initially I was quite pleased with what I received. These machines always need some work to tighten up the gibbs but that is not the most important thing to inspect. First thing you need to do is check the alignment of the headstock and tailstock relative to the bed. If the alignment is not true and square you will not be able to turn a consistent diameter part. It will vary in diameter over the length of the part. This is the ONE thing a lathe needs to do correctly. How do I know, because my headstock was badly out of square. So much so I would have returned it but did not discover this because I was playing with the "fine tuning".

Is the diverter supposed to fall like that unless you have the water running. I could be wrong but I could swear that with my old one I could flip the diverter up even when the water was turned off and it would stay up. I mean it works but I have to turn on the tub first while the diverter is down and then flip it up to the shower head.

Very clear no hassle instructions. My son pulled the faucet shower nob this morning to shower and it broke. I'll be making a run to HD to get the parts and fix it. Thanks for the tips!

Looks like you mounted the lathe on springs, the way it is shaking around. What. Joke.

I have the 7x16 version. Absolute Garbage

All they sell is junk

Thank you so much, paid 60 bucks, just for 0 pressure. But followed your steps and my shower works great. Awesome video 👍

you cant have any distortion in that machine, and thats why its made in....CHINA🙈

You spent $320 on a 12 volt, 60 watt lathe with plastic dovetails? And you tried to cut 1" steel allthread in it? A braver man than I, I suppose.

Man, it looks like rickety crap but I want one :)

It's now Oct-2024, I've been looking for hours and this is the only solution that works for me. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the review man. Nice work. I actually have one on the way right now. 😊

The directions say 1 hour installation. It took me 10 minutes. Thanks.

I know this video is a year old, but I just bought a very similar one and there is a small set screw to lock the tailstock spindle in place...I saw you move/retighten the tailstock a few times in the video...

Better buy a small used professional lathe for around 300 bucks or a chinese c0 or c1

Where do you get the adapter for 180 rotation?

On the Kohler, the video is right on but the pressure is a bit much. My question is about the little intermediate white plastic round piece. The black rubber grommet comes out...that's clear but the white plastic round piece...does it go back in?

Well done! Extremely helpful. Thanks for staying on point and being concise.

What the weight that your workpiece can be??

Terrible camera angle

Hagenes Well

I thought I've seen some 12v 36w metal lathe machine for under $100 (cheapest around $60). And they are on Amazon too

These kits for Moen pull style valves will not work on the old style pull valves. You will need to purchase a handle extension kit. The kit comes with a brass sleeve to extend the pull handle. Otherwise, when you start tightening the the screw you will turn on the water. They do not tell you this. I heard from the Home Depot clerk that he has to send people to online or plumbing stores to purchase the handle adapter. These Danco and Moen trim kits sold will only work on the new style valves, which have a longer stem. Very frustrating. The kits range from $26.00 and up.

Forgot the washer under the 1st screw

Danco cutting costs by providing nothing but cheap plastic pieces. Mine didn't even come with the metal sleeve.

I know this one was done 2 years ago, and I’m happy how this helped me to understand the process. I just have a quick question: why separe those pi cês to be screwed later. I believe no need for.

Move your compound to 45deg. Give yourself some room, plus you’ll get twice the resolution.

Howd you go from 0:26 to the download screen

Was helpful. Thank you.

Great video, I'm not sure what a lot of these comments are talking about. I learned a lot about the product and some of the basic ways it can be used. Your video was enough to sell me on this machine and I sincerely appreciate the time you took to make the content. So many folks out there are keyboard haters, but when it comes down to it, they aren't making any content nor do they ever have any type of actual constructive comments. It's like Haris calling Trump weird. Great, you think he is weird, now tell me what plans you have for our country! Nothing useful and just your basic school yard bullying crap! Thanks!

Idk why but I want a mini workshop with a mini metal lathe and mini 3 axis cnc... or just a 4 axis cnc machine as I'm getting used to CAD with 3d printing. Suggestion?

Aw this does look really cute. It reminds me of the stihl's minichain saw. It seems more like a fine tune trimmer.

I'm at a loss of words. So many sins have been committed

You are supposed to be reviewing the lathe not giving a course on metal turning.......keep to the title of the review.......the choice of tooling you show for the review is pathetic.

Installed but had water leaking to the back😮
