Review on πŸ”§ Mophorn Adjustable Speed Benchtop (500-3200RPM) by Brendan Thorpe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First block is broken, second works fine

The first WL330 lathe I got had a broken tailstock that didn't have lugs that went into the gap in the bed around the tailstock to secure was aligned with the headstock and centerline. Even if you tried leveling it by hand, the tailstock was still almost 1/8" below the headstock (center to center), making it very difficult to turn anything. The second lathe I received , has a tailstock that fits snugly in the bed and is also at the same height above the bed as the headstock so it can work properly.the same lathe from the same factory with redesigned locking handles and a different color scheme.Please note Note that item 21 in the parts drawing and parts list (small bezel) is not included with the machine. Additionally, the assembly instructions require three unknown size screws and washers to be screwed through the table top into the machine base. They are not included with the Machine included. I may have to buy one of each possible screw just to see what I need. If I mi I remember I'll update this as soon as I find out. UPDATED: The bolts required to mount the underside of this lathe are metric, M8 x 1 (8mm diameter and 1mm per thread).

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
