Review on Variable Speed Metal Lathe - BestEquip 8" X 16" Benchtop Mini Lathe With 3-Jaw Chuck For Precise Metal Turning Of Various Types, 0-2500 RPM, Ideal For Home Workshops And DIY Projects by Adrian Ojeda

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good lathe at fair price

Shipping was timely,packaging good,no damage. Pillow block on right end of leadscrew needed .030 removed so half nut did not drag.Missing flat spring in crosslide feed dial.Fabricated new one from feeler gage.Missing 4 gears from package that the front panel chart calls for common threads,perhaps I received doubles of whatever the packagers had on hand.The manual states different gears for threads than the front cover chart.Other than that plenty of power and reasonable accuracy!50 years + machining experience now retired!
