Vevor Mini Metal Lathe 7' x 14'

Ok, here is an unboxing, assembly, testing and review of the Vevor Mini Metal Lathe. This seem to be a pretty nice machine for doing hobby projects. It does have a tail stock, but the drill chuck is sold separately. The Lathe comes with extra teeth for hold parts both on the inside as well as on the outside. It has sever cutting tools, as well as chuck keys for the 3 jaw chuck, and tools to assemble the lathe. If you want to order on for yourself, please use the links below... it will not cost you anything extra, but it will help this channel bring new content to you!! Thanks!!!!

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.

Brazed carbide tools are as sharp as a bowling ball right out of the box. Get yourself a hand diamond hone for a few bucks and dress the edges. Also for those that don't know those 12mm x 12mm tools are to big for the machine. These 7x14 mini lathes are designed for 1/4 (.250) or 5/16 (.3125) cutting tools. You can get by with 3/8 (.375) in most cases but it's a stretch some times depending on tool geometry. 12mm = .472 which is way beyond the .3125 design size.

and also set the tool further back in the toolpost if too much hangs out it will chatter like that

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.

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

Your a bad example of showing how to use a lathe
