Great bit of kit. Haven’t used a lathe in 50 plus years and have made a couple of bits in the first few days..

item arrived undamaged in wooden crate, many screws had worked loose or fallen out but all were in the box. could have came wish a detailed operators manual. But one is available on line to down load. Also a spares list for items such as spare belt etc. as cant find a spare belt to fit if it does break, there is a YouTube tutorial for machining pulleys for a vee belt, which I will be doing, but some mods will have to be made for the motor adjustment. The cutting tools are reasonable, but a set of replaceable tipped tools were obtained form Ebay for £25. Too sum it up a good item for the money, reminds me of my apprenticeship days at Ford Motor Company.

Very happy with the lathe , as soon as I unpacked I checked motor mounts and gears to ensure all tight and lined up , also fitted 3 pin UK plug as it comes with euro plug with no earth . The reason for all this was I did quite a bit of research before I bought and found all the problems that people have had , I've saved myself a lot of work down the line just by doing a few pre checks . My advice would be to anyone buying do your YouTube vids it will give u a good heads up . Tools also bought and quick change holder so will fit these then get some projects on the go .

This lathe came to me as used! And was in a poor state. I spent a lot of time just to get it started. Reached out to Customer service and all they had to say was ”sorry for your troubles, is 10 euros ok in refund?” I got back to them with my thoughts and now… not a Word from them. So think twice before you do any purchase

Easy to use, the universal is a bit small but practical, overall it works quite well, it arrived in 5 working days from the date of the order. A good experience

The lathe came well packaged and in good condition. Will be using it for hobby projects. I have given it a close inspection and I am very happy with its finish. Remember this is not a professional lathe.

The logistics is super fast and the goods are received very quickly.

I know I made the right choice.

8 days shipping to Romania. Free shipping, no custom fee or vat. Delivered to door. Excelent. The lathe came intact with all pieces. Runs very smooth just from the box. I am very pleased

The cast metal is good, it comes with hardened guides but it needs a lot of work to become usable. Lot's of community videos on how to fix upgrade and modify it is a plus. At minimum one needs to disassemble the full machine remove the protective oil and lubricate correctly, but what you most likely will end up doing is deburring metal from parts and modifying the lathe in order to properly work. Good for tinkerers that are willing to learn how to fix the lathe into a good working order, not good if you want to just use a lathe to produce parts.
