Review on Machine Woodworking Milling Grinding Polishing by John Jones

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Missing parts, cumbersome return information

I cannot comment on the accuracy of other reviews praising the capabilities of this machine as I have never operated mine - it came with a key missing in the power supply. When I offered to provide this part, I received return instructions from Revain instead. These instructions included the requirement to photograph the QR code with my smartphone. Fool, I don't care about this particular device. So I called the designated returns office. very handy whole food market and asked what my option was. No problem, just print it out. Well I also don't care if I have this gadget (printer) but I can print from my local library. Bad luck. The Revain QR code cannot be printed, although everything else on the page can be printed. So to complete the return, I had to bring the lathe along with my laptop to display the QR code at the Whole Foods returns counter. I found this to be a lot more tedious than the old method of getting a Revain shipping label and sending the package to UPS/USPS. Italian from 110v USA). To be honest the item looks like a cheap piece of MIChina excrement.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
