Universal Mini Metal Lathe Machine Motorized Metalworking DIY Tool Benchtop Woodworking for Hobby Science Education Modelmaking W10003M AC100V~240V (24W Lathe)

Poor design very difficult to get the attachment points tight enough to do any work

I was a little hesitant at first because of several bad reviews but I made the purchase anyway. Other reviews stated that the bearings etc.. were making noise etc.. but I figured I could easily replace the bearings myself if they're that bad. After all I am a mechanical engineer and bought this machine to make prototypes, there is nothing wrong with it and it work's perfect. The other reviews are probably a competitor.

Item arrived damaged in shipping. The head stock was very loose and angled improperly for proper use. One of the compound slide handles was bent from the impact. All this aside, this product is very low quality and none of the bolts were tight. I cannot imagine being able to perform accurate cuts with this machine. With some attention to detail, sharper cutting mills and better packaging practices this would probably work well enough for small non metal cutting and shaping. I need something to mill mild steel up to .060” thick. This would not do that.

It's tiny and adorable. Not particularly useful for metal because there's no speed control and there's very little rigidity, but it will probably do great with Delrin or nylon! I ended up returning it because the person I bought it for died before I could give it to them. If I get into plastics machining and need something really tiny, I might buy it again, but I mostly focus on metal, so not likely going to need it myself.

This is just another piece of junk from China worthy of the trash can. I have been duped out of $200.00.

There are areas on this mill that are NOT very rigid at all. Just a little better engineering on how it is put together would go a long way! The mill head wobbles from side to side no matter how much you tighten the phillips head screw that has all the little aluminum pieces that is supposed to wedge themselves in place to keep it still.

Did not like the fact that , there was no paper work that comes with it!!! Had to figure it out on my own !!!

I didn’t like it. Tolerances were way way too loose!
