Some people need to learn how to read.
First of all, if you can read the item description (***Mini Motorized Lathe***) this is a MINI lathe. Don't get bent out of shape and give something 1 star because you assumed that something in the $200 range was going to be the same as a multi-thousand dollar machine. Not only is this a fantastic (MINI) little machine it is at an incredible price point. If you need a Jet or Grizzly machine then suck it up and buy one. This is not one of those, but it is a great entry machine to find out if you really, really need to spend a lot more. Even if that is the case (I will probably buy one of the $$$$ machines at some point) you will still have a great little tool that can be used on quick, smaller, projects. If you need an affordable (MINI!) lathe then you can't go wrong with this one.

    So small, absolutely tiny.
    The description should say Micro Mill. These are incapable of milling 7075 aluminum.

    OK.......
    It's very small, like shoe box size. And it could use some graduated dials. Still, for the price, it's a bargain as long as you are doing small pieces.

    Good machine for its small size
    Hey, it's OK, well packaged, not damaged on arrival. Easy setup, needed gib adjustment on the x and y to make it accurate and stable when milling. That is accomplished by ramming two setscrews against the dovetail ways on the Y...? Whole machine is set up this way except Z axis which is handwheel operated It came with all the stuff in the picture plus four end mills, 3,4,5,6 mm, and collets to hold 1-6 mm mills. ! Once I dialed it in, and securely held to the bench, the first project I milled was a .500" mild steel bolt that did not fit into a $20.00 HFT drill press vise that I bought to fit on an old Delta drill press... nice vise for $19.99

    Garbage, the pictures make it look larger than it is, it wont lock down for even the worst of accuracy.

    Don't waste your money!!!
    Unfortunately I feel like 1 Star is still too high of a rating. It is nowhere near close to as big as they portray in the picture. I have never been so disappointed in my life. It looks good in the pictures but When it arrived I thought where's the rest of it. I was expecting something around the same size as a 5peed drill press from harbor freight. Instead I got something that will fit inside a shoe box. I'm so sorry but I would understand if it cost 50-60 $ but definitely not worth the 210.00 including shipping for it. I'm definitely sending it back.
