Vevor Mini Metal Lathe Review | Best Value

[@PaganWizard]

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!!!

[@Jaemon4Eva]

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?

[@GDHoneyAcresandCraftWork]

No indicating, no calculations on correct rom for the cutting tool, just seeming like there isn’t much precision done in the video. I’d still love to get ahold of one of these. I wonder if they make a four jaw for this

[@sgtbrown4273]

Yes they do.

[@aussiebulldog9706]

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

[@Marvincito_Camposeco]

Ya lo tienes ? Que tal te ha funcionado , quiero adquirir uno

[@aussiebulldog9706]

​@@Marvincito_Camposecostill waiting. I'll try and remember to let you know when it arrives 😊

[@richardingram3517]

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".

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

Thanks for posting this review!!! Well done

[@lookoutman]

No problem 👍

[@Manny_Akamotakis]

is the bench from vevor too?

[@alf3071]

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

[@MCcc-u5q]

Good question

[@hillcountryrings]

​@@MCcc-u5q it won't auto disengage. You have to be REAL vigilant to disengage the lead screw (otherwise it would 'crash' into the head).

[@dane5547]

Will it take 1xT8 chucks?

[@CuriousDils]

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

[@thesprinklerguy2598]

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?

[@urbanturbine]

Yeah, I suggest you do it.

[@guidosamson682]

What the weight that your workpiece can be??

[@yadon9884]

will this lathe work with a foot pedal like a sewing machine? If it's running and you unplug it and plug it in again will it start as soon as its plugged back in?

[@hustleeveryday6582]

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!

[@haydenmoore9667]

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

[@lookoutman]

Sin is my middle name :)

[@WayneCook306]

If you are going to review a product you need to know what you are talking about and also how to use the product would help this is a bad review and does not do the lathe any Justis. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@lookoutman]

Glad you loved it :)

[@tri-statedualsport4880]

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

[@urbanturbine]

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

[@rodgraff1782]

I have the 7x16 version. Absolute Garbage

[@Wolf34762]

Is there any better mini lathes out there you would recommend?

[@nbprotocol5406]

They are junk unless you make plenty of modifications. If you don't have machining experience and a mechanical mind you're gonna struggle a lot.

[@AutoMotoMechanic]

It's under 500$ what ya expect. Seems like the shimming and adjusting is easy enough. I just ordered one. Guess I'll see how bad they are next week 😅

[@lookoutman]

What do you think?

[@Marvincito_Camposeco]

​@@AutoMotoMechanic como va tu experiencia de trabajo hasta ahora?

[@AutoMotoMechanic]

@@lookoutman it's fine for the few things ive done, making spacers, shortening bolts to exact length evenly, polishing some items. Custom door locks for my car and more. I don't need to do 10 items a day. If I can make 1 or 2 things now and then I'm happy. So far so good. Full tear down clean rebuild and setup to keep everything nice and tight. It's not perfect out of box. But with some tinkering you can have some decent results. Was able to make super shiney finish pass on steel and aluminum after get used to how fast and deep it prefers cut. I've only used low speeds. Seems more then fast enough for what I've done. (I'm not professional machinist just a guy who bought one and gave it a go)

[@hardlife3844]

This sir is not a review. This is an extremely simplistic overview and not a very good one at that. Boo I say. Boo

[@lookoutman]

Stoked you loved my review!

[@Gingerbread3232]

@@lookoutmanI don’t he he did

[@hustleeveryday6582]

This is a really nice little review. It sounds like you are looking for a video to show you how to use it, and that sir, is not called a review. He is showing some of the basic uses and talks about how he likes it and thinks it's a good value. I learned a lot from watching this video and it was actually far more than I was looking for and enough to sell me on this product. He did a great job, and if you don't think so then I'll be on the look out for your upcoming review.

[@hardlife3844]

@@hustleeveryday6582 what he did is 1st impressions. Sorry you don't understand what the difference is between that and a review.

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

​@hardlife3844 go get your headstock checked ... this was a good video

[@gangleweed]

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.

[@lookoutman]

Glad you loved it :)

[@hustleeveryday6582]

@@lookoutman I love your replies to all these pathetic comments.

[@mohbeans]

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

[@lookoutman]

Happy to hear your opinion! Thanks for watching.

[@rodgraff1782]

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

[@GregoryJohnston77]

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

[@user-mechanicalmusic]

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