Yeah I had some fans going because it was a hot day and honestly couldn't afford a nice lavalier mic at the time. I've since gotten a new camera and a mic setup and hopefully I'll be doing some more videos soon.
I know this is an old video, but how do you mount it to the bench , are there only two kinda cut out bits back and front ? I just literally bought this particular one , my first mill.
Is that built where you can totally disassemble it, take the top and bottom loose from the sides, remove the rollers and all? Vevor does not have a mill with rollers as long as I need to do what I want so I wondered if I could rebuild one to suit my purpose. Thanks man
Yeah I apologize for the noise. It was hot in my shop that day and I didn't have a lavalier set up yet. I've since gotten one but haven't had time to do any videos. Hopefully I'll be back at it soon
Hi Duke! It has some issues. I'm actually planning on doing an update on it in the next few weeks. There are some issues with the finishing on the gears. They get stuck. It also doesn't allow for rolling of larger stock. I found myself having to cast smaller ingots to roll. The handle is also too short in my opinion. Not enough leverage. At the moment I'm not exactly thrilled with it but it works well once the the stock is rolled small enough.
Sorry for the late reply. I ended up giving that to a friend getting into metal working and bought myself a durston. It served its purpose and got me by for a little while, but I really felt that I needed something better after a few months of use.
I used it for about 6 months. It worked fine. I came into some extra cash and upgraded to a durston though. If you're on a tight budget and need a mill this is a pretty good option
Yeah it was hot and I had fans going. Didn't have a good mic setup at the time. Hoping to get back to doing videos soon. Got a lav mic and a new camera. Hopefully it was still helpful
Thank you for the video. Very well done. Would you guide me please? I am a woodworker and very occasionally would like to add copper or brass as inlays into my wood products. Perhaps like finished accent trim. The pressed thickness of metal I need is about 5 mill or less. What machine should I look at? Also, where to buy the brass/copper/silver wire? Here is a short youtube vid of how Id like to finish some of my projects. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-arWUZ4Gdcvs.html Thanks so much for your help. Joe
This mill did struggle with things that were 5 mm. It got me by for a little while. If you can afford a nicer one, I recommend either Pepe tools or durston. I myself got a durston. I just recently got a comment from someone saying they got a defective Mill from vevor. Apparently the customer service left a lot to be desired. I had a pretty good experience with this Mill. I did upgrade it pretty quickly though.
