Review on Upgraded Variable 2250RPM Machine Turning by Steve Cooper

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very poor packaging and insufficient instructions.

Comes boxed in 1/4" plywood, box has been opened, no parts. Assembly instructions and parts list should be on page 10 of the tiny manual, but the instructions only go to page 10 8!Severe slipping of the crossfeed handwheel.Lower tailstock lock is missing as is the flywheel lever.HT two stars because the device really works.Score will go up or down after I make and try to use spare parts on my big lathe. In addition, the rear fender is badly bent and the gearbox housing is full of metal chips.

Pros
  • GREAT DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
