The last tool you have used, the one that haves a 60 degrees point is used to make threads, that is why it didnt cut the steel well. The lever you use to say that is used to lock the car, actually is used to engage the screew to make the car moves automaticly. Its used to thinning the piece consistently or to make also threads using the gearbox. That is why you have so many metal gears, its to make the correct thread space. There is a lever on the back of the lathe that activates the gearbox. Down it will reverse the screw, up will do a forward the screw and at the midle its not activated. With time you will see this litle lathe is an amazing tool and you will find out how to work with it. Congratulations to the video, keep on doing it and you need a tripod to film it. Always remember to not use large clothes when using the lathe and careful with the rotation, do not use gloves neither cause it can be catched by the chuck or the piece you are machining and use protective glaces because sometimes things fly from the piece and can do a casualty on your face/eyes.

You need to raise your RPM up.

It is time to invest in a tripod, for your videos.

Even if you do everything right, everything will turn out wrong with any lathe from Vevor. I have been working on mine for six months. It’s a lost cause. I made them refund half the cost of the lathe, and I m going to junk it out for parts. I can’t knowingly sell a piece of shit to someone. Hope you have better luck.
