ZHRUI All-metal Miniature Lathe 36W 20000rpm Didactical Mini metal Lathe Machine for Hobbyist Woodworking Craft

The maximum one can put in the existing 3-jaw chuck is 15mm or 1.5" in diameter. The instructions are terrible. To move the tailstock, loosen the bottom two screws by the tailstock and the allen screw in the channel under the tailstock. You CAN get tools for it. The same guy that sold this one sells them. It works but do not try to turn steel. Stick to wood, copper,aluminium and plastic. The tailstock probably takes an M15 chuck. The tongue gets a bit wobbly if it's extended more than an inch. The tool that arrived with mine looked burnt and it was missing a T nut and bolt. None of those are big issues. This is a good product for home robotics. I recommend pairing this with the milling machine.

It works but not for heavy duty stuff

Couldn't even do a small aluminum fitting i just needed to turn down. Tried higher speed and very slow feed rate and it struggled. May be good for jewelry or model parts.

I've only had this item for a few days! Its seems very well built very accurate im having a blast with it, it will be great for hobbyists for sure !! Very glad I purchased one !!

I figured this would be good for some small tasks, but it isn't really up to any of them. I started out trying to make some aluminum spacers. No matter how much I crank on the jaws, my material loosens up. There is no parting tool, so I made my own. That worked out ok, but the depth of cuts it can take on aluminum is sooo small that it's not worth my time. This $150 lathe tool had me spend 4 hours trying to make 2 spacers that a harbor freight mini lathe could have knocked out in 15 minutes.

It's my first lathe - I just needed something small for hobby/craft type stuff. The quality is amazing and much better than the other $130 red mini lathe I returned. The jaws on the chuck are reversible, if it doesn't turn smoothly the 3 teeth weren't installed/inserted back in order (they're labeled 1-3 and order depends which way you're using the chuck). The included cutting tool is questionable, but it was able to cut aluminum much better than I could ghetto rig on my drill, lol. 10/10 for the build quality and value. Someone experienced will likely want something beefier, but for me it's perfect so far.

Pretty little machine and works well with wood. I used aluminum and it cuts very slowly. I purchased it mostly for polishing stainless steel bolts and it works well for that. I don't recall what the rpms are supposed to be but it definitely is not 20,000 rpms.

Horrible the brass piece would not center and the chuck didn’t have enough strength to hold the work piece.

L'articolo mi è giunto privo delle manovelle dei volani, del dispositivo centrante, delle viti per l'assemblaggio alla base, degli attrezzi per l'apertura della morsa del tornio e di ogni altro dispositivo previsto per l'utilizzo dell'articolo. Dentro la scatola ho trovato solo il tornio, la base, l'alimentazione, un pezzetto di legno ed uno di alluminio e la chiave a brugola oltre ad una piccola descrizione del montaggio e della lista degli attrezzi a corredo. Considero tutto questo, dopo una spesa di 199 euro, un vero e proprio furto.

Llego muy bien embalado, casi completamente ensamblado, solo tuve que instalar las manijas y ajustar la distancia entre motor y soporte. Cortador preensamblado también, aunque preferí ajustarlo a mi preferencia. Trabaja muy bien, incluye un cilindro de madera (no logre ponerlo en la máquina) y uno de aluminio de prueba. El de aluminio cortó fácil, aunque el acabado con el cortador incluído no es el mejor y por la misma vibración, la mesa es ligera pero estable. Me gustaría mas variedad de cortadores (incluye solo uno), pero por el precio es excelente para hobby en torneados pequeños Incluye Herramientas de ajuste y ensamble.

A fantastic little lathe good value for the money

Very satisfied , this small baby does everything I expected

Perfekt
