What can i say? It does as it should. But a few things of note;1, theres no reference of zero on the cross slide swing. Maybe im missing a mark, idk.2: the slides were VERY loose out of the crate. Be sure to tighten them down3: quick change tool post is worth every penny4: the chuck guard broke immediately after first use. Nothing hit it, it just went "nope" and fell off.Overall, great little lathe, handles just about anything you throw at it (within reason, no titanium or chrome moly), and turns pretty good work.

I purchased this 7 x 14 mini lathe with mixed expectations on the outcome since numerous people who have purchased the product have expressed there regret as to there purchase. So many negative comments, from to much grease to bad stickers to loose parts, noise, shipping issues, i can go on and on. It's like someone does not like these machines period. If you want an excuse not to buy on... go to the web. I purchased it, used it HARD all day for 2 days straight . I know the heat is coming for my expressions but the truth is the truth. They are Good.

I bought this on another site for about $430. I was hesitant, but figured I'd risk it. I'm not upset. You should have a bit of experience using one if you're going to buy this though. The tail stock isn't centered, but it is adjustable. Also, people worry about the nylon gears. Well, I screwed up and flipped it from forward to reverse instead of turning the knob to off, then freaked out and turned it back lol. Yea, they grinded like crazy then, but they still work fine and don't make any additional noises or anything. And thats after about 50 hours of work on it.

Unsure about accurate description as it appears to be a return, maybe used. See the photos and decide yourself. Shipped quickly and arrived ahead of schedule, well padded and crated.Shipping may have loosened bolts, nuts and the like. All the listed tools were included. It powers up and has run at 200 rpm as a preliminary test. So far so good…albeit somewhat noisy. I gave 4 Star Avg. due to its used appearance and I have yet to perform a simple test cut.

A little cleaning and adjusting here and there and this is a pretty decent little lathe for light work. Tons of YT videos on how to improve them out there. I’ve cut everything from plastic to stainless steel with it and it works. Don’t expect machine shop quality but if you’re looking for a hobby level mini metal lathe this fits the bill.

This will do the job but worried about the plastic gears instead of metal.

The worst part is the booklet...rather poorly done Otherwise no complaints. Grahame Smith

Lo bueno, es muy buena máquinaLo malo es que no viene ajustadopero bien al fin.!!

Some bent parts and broken plastic I’d like to assume from shipping, but assembly wasn’t great either. Fortunately, probably anyone that wants this is more than happy to fix this little stuff since since it’s a tinkerers thing anyway. Well worth the money for light stuff.

I was concerned the Lathe wouldn't be that great due to the low price, however it actually works great. It shipped in ~3 days. I tested it on some very rough wood and it works great! I doubt you'd find a better lathe in this price range :) -Jon Harbin
