VEVOR Wood Lathe, Woodturning Lathe 14 Inch x 20 Inch , 4 Speeds 1100/1600/2300/3400 RPM Small Wood Lathe, 220V 400W Wood Turning Lathe Machine with Three Chisels and Wrenches

This lathe was more than I expected. The Quality of the castings was very good, considering the lower price than competitive units. I love the safety "off" switch. I would purchase this 10 x 18 lathe again.

This tool definitely has a learning curve; that's the reason for 3 stars on ease of use. It is built well, and does its job well. I could see turning multiple table/chair legs at a time if you are a furniture crafter. This is more than I need for my home shop, but it does work great.

Great item and price. Super fast shipping. The lathe works extremely well and appears to be pretty good quality. The lathe chiseled that come with it are throw aways. The chisels.are not the place to skimp.

This lathe works right out of the box, if you are looking for a quality product for a low price this is for sure a great buy!

Great product great price fast shipping everything as described work's as described packaged well very Happy with the product

This is the exact same 10 x 18 lathe as Rockler and WEN sell. I believe Harbor Freight and Rikon also sell a version of this lathe. The main difference is the color of the paint. As such, it has the same list of pros and cons as those models. The 22\" bed extension for the Rockler 10 x 18 bolts right on with no issues, although I did decide to repaint the lathe base and extension so that everything matched. The 1/2 HP motor is perhaps a little on the small side for this lathe, but so long as you're not using it in a high-production commercial environment it should be more than adequate. Yes, it is possible to stall the lathe if a turning tool catches, but I have not personally found stalling to be an issue under normal conditions. While not as versatile as continuous variable speed, the selection of speeds is more than adequate. The spindle is threaded 1\" x 8tpi, and both the headstock and the tailstock are set up with MT2 tapers so finding accessories is easy. The included drive center and live center are more than adequate and should serve well for many years. Be advised that the socket for the tool rest is 16mm as opposed to 5/8\" so you will find that some of the aftermarket rests do not fit perfectly. I've got a nice curved stainless steel tool rest for bowl turning that I cannot use because it will not stay in place due to fitting too loosely. (I'll make an adapter sleeve for it...eventually.) All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and have been enjoying wood turning. I would highly recommend this lathe to anyone considering buying a mid-size lathe--especially if you're running tight on funds.

I haven’t got a chance to use it quite yet, and I am almost done setting it up, but it is heavy duty, and has a strong motor, as I have already turned it on, but it did not come with an instruction manual for some reason, but it’s actually pretty Simple to set up without it. I will update review once I’ve used it.

Bought this to make a ship's wheel for my Halloween display. Granted it would have been cheaper to buy the wheel on ebay but what would be the fun in that. :-) Don't expect to be turning out ( No pun intended ) great pieces but this is a good practice tool to get the feel for a new skill.

super fun and easy to use almond wood is to hard and really dangerous personal favorite wood to use would be 4X4 beems

It's a good quality tool for the price, but if I had to buy another one, I would invest a bit more for a variable speed!
