Some advice: these machines are usually filthy with dirt and grease on the inside. Its worth it to take the chuck off and clean and grease it to improve accuracy. You want to work as close to the chuck as possible to improve rigidity and accuracy. The best channel for small lathes is artisanmakes, he basically modded his as far as it would go.
I have been looking at VEVOR mini lathes for years on Amazon and Ebay. Today, I thought about looking on Temu for quick giggles and I saw this same lathe! It is almost $100 less at $390.00! Thanks for sharing your experience with this!
awesome!! the shipping was less than a week i forgot to mention it in the video. thanks for checking out the video i hope i earned a subscribe from you i will have more temu items coming soon.
hello i am actually a speedcuber that just cam across your channel. I have been cubing for 3 years and I am 15 years old and my best time is 7.82 seconds. I love the message you are spreading to people and keep up the good work! :)
awesome thanks for the info. i noticed it had some chatter but when i had a smaller item in the chuck it turned way easier. thanks for watching and again thanks for the advice.
@@Beardonabudget 6" is still too far. Good rule of thumb on these little lathes for stick out is about 3 times the diameter, so 3" for 1" stock. Any more than that you need the tail stock. Steady rest / follower can also be handy. Basically if you've got chatter then it's sticking out too far.
