I would recommend this machine to any of my friends. It's a great bargain for its size class. The machine arrived undamaged. Everything appears to be working as it should. Tolerances and runouts are as advertised and will not require much, if any adjustment. It's just a nice little lathe! Machines packed for overseas transport are usually covered with clear cosmoline or something similar. This unit was no exception. Expect to get several shop towels saturated wiping off the bulk of it, then use WD-40 to dissolve and wipe off any of it that remains. It's also a good idea to check the gears for detritis like wood chips and styrofoam that popped off the inside of the crate due to stapling of the crate at the factory to prepare the machine for transport. The stiff, brown grease on the gears in the drive train is for lubrication. As long as it's clean, there's no need to remove it. I plan to keep it well lubricated and use Vactra way oil on the various gibs, dovetails, and Morse tapers. Regular oiling of the lead screws and bearings that have oil ports is best practice and the machine should last for many years if you take care of it. Swarf it down at the end of every work session and when you expect to leave it sitting idle for extended periods of time. One thing that's often overlooked by newcomers is shimming the lathe bed. If you want to maintain tighter tolerances and minimize errors, shim the legs of the lathe bed to remove any twists. The rubber feet supplied with the lathe are not helpful in this regard. Bolt the lathe feet to a heavy bench and add shims. YouTube has several good videos showing how to do this. As to the several comments about the motor not running, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!. There are several interlocks on this machine. The plastic cover over the lathe chuck has an interlock to ensure it is closed. The motor will not run if the cover is open. The Forward and Reverse switch on the front of the unit has to be set to the desired direction or the switch will trip out. And ALWAYS be sure to stop the machine when changing gears or directions. This thing isn't like a vehicle. Any time the gears or direction are changed, ensure the chuck is not turning! One other thing worth mentioning is that tachometer sensor under the end cover has to be close (but not touching) the left end of the lathe shaft. The small metal studs must clear the tachometer sensor. But if the sensor is too far away, the tachometer might register the rotational speed as something other than what it actually is. When I first turned on my machine, mine was reading about half the correct value. This is easy to fix by pushing the sensor a little closer to the shaft encoders, the small studs surrounding the end of the shaft. I have also seen a few people complaining about the lathe tools. These are brazed carbide cutters and need to be correctly sharpened before using. As with most brazed carbide cutters, it's up to the user to profile and sharpen them as needed before using them. You will likely also need to shim them in the tool holder to center them up to your workpiece. The lathe tool muti-tool holder will allow several cutter sizes. The ones in the included kit are 10mm x 10mm. If the cutter isn't lined up with with the vertical center of the workpiece, then watch some Youtube videos that explain how to do it. There is plenty of support for these machines on the Internet. If you have trouble finding videos, remember these all use similar parts that are made in the same factories in China. I agree that the multi-tool holder is a bit lacking and perhaps even more than a little clumsy. And depending on the metal you are working with, brazed carbide cutters might not be the best choice. They are typically used for cutting mild steel. Materials like high speed steel (HSS), titanium nitride, or cobalt steel cutter tools might be a better choice for other metals. It's just a budget tool holder with some general purpose tools for those who might not need anything better. There are lots of tool manufacturers with thousands of specialized tools available. Several recommendations are Shars Tool, Harvey Tools, and Tormach. There are several after-market quick change tool holders that will fit this machine with little or no modification. Remember, you are at liberty to add after-market parts and modify this machine as you desire. For small shop and hobbyist work, it's impossible to guess what every end user might need or expect. So watch videos, read books from the old timers, and ask questions. Someone will likely have a solution for whatever you may encounter. Also, remember that the larger the machine, the greater the cost for the tooling and work holding attachments. The cost of tooling and add-ons goes up exponentially with size of the machine. Many production shops that are trying to reduce turnaround time will expect more than the mini lathes and mini mills are capable of. If you expect the small machines to plow through the toughest metals with just a few passes, they just aren't capable of doing so. But most are capable of doing a decent job if you aren't in a hurry, take shallower cuts, use the right cutting tools, and don't have a long line of customers waiting. If you don't believe me, then look at what some of the so-called "model engineers" do with these things and even smaller machines of various brands. A good place to start is with the Home Shop Machinist books by Village Press, Inc if you are here in the US, and with lathe and mill books from Fox Chapel Books if you are in the UK or other countries. desertcart has both available. Review: Fantastic little metal lathe! - Just received the Vevor 7x14 mini-lathe and did some work with it. You do need to clean it up a bit, as others have commented. It’s shipped with a thin layer of protective grease. Easy to clean off, I hosed it down with WD-40, wiped it down, then lined the ways with way oil. I did not disassemble the lathe as some suggest; prob would be better but I was able to clean it up to my own satisfaction. Anyway - I’m an HVAC guy who is also a nationally certified maintenance & reliability technician and a trained machinist (yeah - I’m old). I’m blown away by this little lathe!!! I did not need to make ANY adjustments, the jobs are perfect and this thing cuts as well as my dads Smithy 3-in-1 that cost six times as much. I machine mostly aluminum racebike parts so for my needs this has plenty of power. You can make quick work of turning spacers, etc. If you’re going to turn steel I’m sure it will do fine if you take your time. All in all, I already love this thing and I’m sure I will use it a lot. ## Features - 100% Nylon - Precise Engineering: Ideal for professionals, this power metal lathe's high-precision 4-inch 3-jaw chuck handles both square and round objects with equal aplomb. It's especially suitable for jobs requiring high accuracy, such as threading. - Large Working Capacity: This metal working lathe cranks out 550W and handles small to medium projects. It provides a 7.09"/180mm swing over bed and 13.78"/350mm center distance so that you can manage more extensive projects. - Upgrade Design: This small metal lathe uses metal gear instead of a nylon one. Aluminum handwheel can increase service life. Automatic power-off protection switch to make it safer. An extra LED lamp can help you finish processing in places with insufficient light. - Complete Control: The lathe's rotational speed can be set from 50 to 2500rpm and monitored by the digital display; the well-crafted head and tailstocks, large through-hole, and 4-way tool post also contribute to providing greater control of your work. - Professional Construction: 4-way quick change tool post can install 4 standard turning tools at the same time. You can adjust tool post forwards/backward by turn blade adjustors with accurate scales clockwise/anticlockwise. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09FDVMYXS | | Assembled Diameter | 4 Inches | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #141,421 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #2 in Power Metal Lathes | | Color | Blue and White | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (284) | | Cutting Diameter | 4 Inches | | Date First Available | September 3, 2021 | | Included Components | Metal Lathe | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 103 pounds | | Item model number | 7"x14" | | Manufacturer | VEVOR | | Material | Metal | | Part Number | SJ7X14JSMNCC550W0618MC | | Power Source | dc | | Size | 7" x 14" | | Wattage | 550 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** VEVOR - **Compatible Devices:** Lathe - **Item Diameter:** 4 Inches - **Item Weight:** 103 Pounds - **Material:** Metal ## Images ![VEVOR 7"x14" Metal Lathe, Upgraded Digital Display, 550W - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kkRwA+NnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: gears metal or plastic?** A: VEVOR Mini Metal Lathe gears are made of metal. **Q: Spindle tapper or mount for changing chucks ?** A: There’s four studs screwed into the chuck that mounts to the drive plate with four lock washers and nuts. **Q: how do to connect this machine to 120 volt AC?** A: This Mini Metal Lathe uses direct current, using 120 volt AC will burn the machine down. **Q: Does it have automatic feed** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Little Lathe at a Very Competitive Price! *by J***E on February 8, 2025* Fast shipment from the vendor & very professional!

You do need to clean it up a bit, as others have commented. It’s shipped with a thin layer of protective grease. Easy to clean off, I hosed it down with WD-40, wiped it down, then lined the ways with way oil.

You can make quick work of turning spacers, etc. If you’re going to turn steel I’m sure it will do fine if you take your time. All in all, I already love this thing and I’m sure I will use it a lot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Machine works way better than expected, but not right out of the box. *by B***I on April 2, 2026* To be honest, I was not expecting this lathe to be as good as it has been. I did my research, watched a ton of You-Tube video on the machine, so I kind of knew what I was getting myself into. Be prepared to put in a LOT of hours before making your first chips, and adding a few hundred bucks for tools, tool holders, center drills etc. You MUST remove all the shipping grease that is packed into every nook and cranny. The guy who did mine must have been going for employee of the month with the amount of grease on the thing. You have to disassemble the carriage, cross slide and compound, as well as the gears under the gear cover. Remove the chuck from the machine and then the jaws from the chuck and clean everything. (Here's a tip: When reassembling the jaws on the chuck, hold them in place with one hand then turn the chuck key counter clockwise. You'll feel each jaw click into place one at a time, then tighten. Also notice that each jaw is numbered (1,2 and 3) and so is the chuck body. Match them up when reassembling). Then clean, clean and clean, put it all back together, tighten and adjust all the gibs. I used a two pass cleaning system. First I cleaned with WD-40 and a whole lot of paper towel. The WD will dissolve the grease easily but leave a film. I followed that up with mineral spirits (paint thinner) and an old tooth brush, and even more paper towel. Take everything you can apart. Even the gib adjustment screws and nuts, but BE CAREFUL. Some of the parts are really small. I spent too much time on my hands and knees with a flashlight and magnet, but even these little buggers are full of grease and have to be cleaned up. I cleaned up each section as I took it apart and put the screws back where they came from right after cleaning and drying them. There are a ton of little screws and they're not all the same, so avoid mixing them up and put them back temporarily in the screw holes they came from. Otherwise you'll end up with a good size pile of screws and wonder where they all go. Take pictures as you take things apart as well. After a good cleaning, lubricate all the moving parts with way oil on the ways and gibs, and iso68 hydraulic fluid on the screws as you put it back together. This ensures that all surfaces get oil Dont forget the ball oilers, there are 5 of them. One in the chuck, one in the tailstock and one in the lead screw bracket. There are 2 in the geartrain under the gear cover. It took a lot of time, but if you invest it at the beginning, it will pay off in the long run. Adjust all the gibs so they are tight and smooth. It takes some time to make those adjustments so all the gibs run smooth with zero play, but not so tight that they take too much force to move. My first try at turning didnt go well, because I didn't have the compound gib tight enough. After a few more back and forths snugging the gibs down some more, I was able to get some real nice cuts. Your tools have to be adjusted properly as well. Very small changes in tool geometry, especially height, can have profound effects on cut quality. My machine came with all metal gears that look quite sturdy, but at the time of this writing, I have not used them. My first project is to machine a new arbor for an antique clock, that needs some pretty tight tolerances for press fits and tiny pivots. I've been practicing my technique for getting the placements along the arbor for the various diameters required to make a replacement. What has become obvious is that since there is no scale for moving axially, an add-on Digital Readout is a must for me to get placements at .002" accuracy that I need. This may or may not be a problem for you. I've been playing with the machine for a week or so now and I'm pretty impressed with what it can do. Here's my summary: Pros: Good solid feel. Heavy cast iron base Inexpensive surprisingly good quality. Good clean machined surfaces. Easy to get accurate diameters when turning Cons: I didn't like the placement of the carriage lock. It's right under the compound and difficult to get at. I added my own between the ways. It's definitely not ready for use right out of the box. Plan on spending a good 8 hours to disassemble, clean, reassemble and adjust things. The manual and cutting tools that come with it are useless. If your a home hobbyist or tinkerer this machine is a great one to start on for making some pretty awesome parts. ## Frequently Bought Together - VEVOR Mini Metal Lathe, 7"x14" Benchtop Metal Lathe, 550W Variable Speed 2250RPM Metal Lathe, with 3-jaw Chuck CNC Mini Lathe Machine, Precision Mini Lathe w/Tool Box Digital Display for Metal Turning - MINI METAL LATHE TAIL STOCK DRILL CHUCK TOOL WITH MT2 MORSE TAPER ARBOR MT 2 - Indexable Lathe Turning Tool 21Pcs Kit 1/2'' 12mm Shank 7 Pcs Metal Lathe Tool Holder Set with 14 Pcs Turning Inserts for Turning Grooving Threading Boring Carbide Inserts Carbide Turning Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/359127771-vevor-7x14-metal-lathe-upgraded-digital-display-550w](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/359127771-vevor-7x14-metal-lathe-upgraded-digital-display-550w) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
