@chris Nixon I am definitely warming to the idea. I have done a heap of turning now and really happy with the whole machine and the belts are a standard off the shelf Gates. These belts looked really small and flimsy but no signs of deterioration yet Definitely see your point regarding the gears thanks for watching 😊

@Robert Craft funny you mention it I have had a few say it won’t work and would get vibration however I have been turning 130mm diameter Aluminum and thread cutting chromoly and works perfectly. I would definitely recommend it for a solution under $100 even holds the weight perfectly on slippery tiles …really happy with it 👍

@@michaelhille261 I have always belived that as long as the rigidity of the tool and the machine is in sync what it is mounted on isn't terribly important so long as it is not being moved or jarred in such a way that it would cause the tool to be moved from it's mounting components while in operation

I have a DeWalt miter saw stand like this not really doing anything else and had considered re-purposing it for a 7x14 mini lathe. Came across this video and heck - I'll reuse the crate bottom too. I'll check its weight rating before mounting the 80lb mini lathe on it.

Awesome I’m still using it weekly and sitting on the stand not a glitch with the stability. I’m now thinking of what else I can put on a stand 👌

So would you recommend buying the 1100w for the higher price compared to this one

What brand and model# did you get?

I was just eyeing up the 1100W one on Ebay, the 9x30 one right? how much did you pay for it? The one I'm looking at is $1,259.00 which is a bargain! Grizzly has a comparable lathes going for $2500-$3000. So I believe you found a gem! Thanks for sharing.

@@ChristopherJones16 I bought the vevor 8x16 luxury version for $1,250. After contact angler bearings, QCTP, and cast iron tail stock upgrades and some other fine tuning. I'm still needing or wanting to do more tweeking. I really with I would have just purchased the 11x30 precision matthews lathe. I can do precision turning within .002 over 8 inch parts but it requires leveling and tuning the machine each and every time. I wanting to add lead to the bed to add more weight mass. I just wish I would have listen to others and went straight to the precision matthews machine.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks Harry keep doing what your doing and you will get there 👍🏻

Hahah no worries at all . I’m super happy with this little lathe it definitely works well and the ozito stand combo works a treat definitely recommend. It’s a simple easy way to keep it without taking up bench space. It definitely is a small world 👍 thanks for the comment

Thanks for that . I’m really happy with this so far has worked flawlessly and I have done some big diameters on it and loaded it up quite a bit.

I’m quite happy with it . Works well. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching Oscar the main reason I got this was due to the fact that these little lathes seem to hold their value so to buy one second hand was almost as much as new and this came with free delivery so it was mainly ease of buying and getting delivered. Second hand would be perfect if you live close and it hasn’t done much work and the price is right I’d say go for it 👍

Hi Jason it is nice , I am a mechanical engineer but started my working life as a toolmaker so have used lathes, mills manual and CNC.

hahah The garage was the reason I bought the house. I needed more room and the tiled floor just came with the house defiantly wouldn't recommend tiles for a workshop.... Too much cleaning

Yes, that was danged impressive to me as well. Now an oil spill, etc... on concrete sucks, so I wonder how that works with tile? One worry would be a hot chip falling on the tile and melted tile while the concrete would laugh at it.

You know I’m quite impressed with the tiles I thought I would chip them and damaged them but surprisingly I’ve dropped hammers and steel bar on the floor and it hasn’t marked at all. I also weld grind spilt paint and all sorts on it. I’m told they are special garage tiles that have the same colour all the way through if you do in fact chip them. Oil just wipes straight off. So I’m warming to the idea of tiles.

@@michaelhille261 WOW, I love the sound of that. Most excellent, and sure isn't the same tiles (by the sound of them) as you find in a Kitchen. This tells me they have to be hellishly expensive.

Yeah I’m very happy with it and it’s done some heavy work so far turning 130mm Aluminum here is the link to where I bought it 👍 www.ebay.com.au/itm/124660530840

@@michaelhille261 Much appreciated, cheers.

Hey Bill thanks for following along appreciate it . Yes the tailstock takes no2 Morse tapers so it accepts a drill chuck with number 2 taper

Thanks for that. I thought so too but I haven’t changed it and gives a great finish on steel and aluminium. With it being variable speed it changes with the motor speed. It also comes with different gears in the kit

Hi Ken thanks for watching I’m really happy with this lathe and have done some really tough turning on this including heat treated splines I don’t really do too much parting off I use my bandsaw to rough cut then turn to dimensions

@@michaelhille261 Thank you very much for your reply. That's made my mind up, will be ordering one very soon. Best regards. Ken.

@ken greenhall the only downside is the torque at high speed is low and if too big a cut it will stop on overload and need to push start to reset

@@michaelhille261 Thank for that. I guess that's a fale safe, I did wonder what was used as on the cj18a lathe there are plastic gears and I think on these lathes they are all metal?

@@michaelhille261 I have the 800 watt version, and don’t have any issues. I usually turn at 1100-1500 RPM, unless I’m polishing. These are mini lathes, not industrial machines. Mine is direct drive, and I have never overloaded it, even when using 1/2” cutters

Thanks for that . That’s great to hear 😃 I also found out the belt is a standard Gates belt so at least I can get one off the shelf easy enough. Thanks for your comment. Definitely reassuring to know 👍👌

@@michaelhille261 Hi, what's the Gates number for the belt?

Hi it is 5M365 for both of them 👍

And inexpensive enough to keep a couple spares in stock.

Thanks Peter sorry I should of put it in the description I put it in the comments but the description would be a better and easier to find www.ebay.com.au/itm/124660530840#vi__app-cvip-panel here is the link I’m not sure if it’s still available

@@michaelhille261 Thanks for sharing that, it is available, I ordered the same one yesterday on Ebay. Thanks again.

@Peter Moss Not a problem at all. I have been putting it to work lately on my latest project and it’s going great. 👍

@Tony W thanks for that here is the link to the one I bought on eBay but it’s no longer available but the seller may have others it gives you all the info here www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-Lathe-Machine-8x16-1100W-22-40cm-Metal-Working-Lathe-Small-Metal-Lathe-/124660530840?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0

Hahaha yes I have just moved it to the new place so I will be back to it shortly I have a video of the seaplane move coming soon just to let everybody know I’m still here 😀. It’s been a long time .....oh and yes definitely a mill next and then a cnc router would be nice 👍🏻 hope your doing well over there ....

@@michaelhille261 Thought that was "New" trappings in the background. We did our FINAL move when we hit 65, the next move is a hole in the ground. I hate moving, and always wonder where the Heck all that Cr*p came from when we moved.

Yes I’m with you there I’m never moving again it’s hard work and very time consuming. And your right about the crap you collect.

Yes I’m still happy with it and if you watch my last video upload I was turning large diameter 130mm Aluminum with no issues. works great 👍

They are an ozito saw stand from Bunnings hardware. They work great 👍

Not sure but 12 months in and they still look new and I have put some hrs on it . The belts are a gates off the shelf belt so easy to replace

I think it was around $1000 AUD, yes, in Australia thanks for watching.

@radumerkin I have personally turned 6in aluminium stock . It does this fine providing you take your time and you can only take small cuts as this has a safety overload and will cut the power if loaded too much . Apart from this and as long as your not in a hurry it’s great value for the price

@@michaelhille261 thanks for the reply! I'm currently building myself a belt grinder, and am having a hard time sourcing quality wheels at a reasonable price with the correct dimensions and bores.

@Dolce @ Paisano yes sure can they are an off the shelf Gates belt 5m365 so anywhere that sell gates belts like bearing suppliers will have access and probably even stock them you can also buy them online. I’m still running the original ones and they are a gates belt from factory so good quality 👍

I bought mine on Amazon

I thought I would have some vibration issues too but works great 👍 I turn up to 130mm Aluminum with no issues or chatter but then this machine you can’t take big cuts either 👌quick change tool post would be nice . I’m actually looking at converting this to CNC

@@michaelhille261 hmm you can get cncs for 20 k ausino which is what I want 27,500 I think as I am used to turrets and not one tool I am used to about 10

@nick king I’m with you would love one 👍👌

@@michaelhille261 I want two and a mill be handy as for blacksmithing hahaha 😝

Yes I’m happy with this I’m currently turning 130mm diameter Aluminum and working great 👍 I have a link to the one I bought and description in comments below

Yes I think it’s quite good. 4 months in and I’m still happy with it.

@@michaelhille261 Does it have a brushed, or a brushless motor? Sounded like a brushed to me.

I will check today and get back to you

@@michaelhille261 Thank you. One thing I found out is most of the sellers on eBay are the same sellers. I sent a message to them, and only a couple had individual responses while most had the same EXACT canned message. Gone for the weekend if past business hours on Friday when your message was received. Give us 1 day to reply unless the forementioned....yadda yadda yadda. Makes it so hard. I know if any machine uses a Brushed motor I want no part of it, and besides the RFI brushed puts out is crazy (sparks internally too).

So I checked mine today and I can’t actually see without pulling it all apart so unfortunately I’m not sure if it’s a brushed motor. Yes I have also found that with eBay but I haven’t had too many bad experiences luckily 👍

@Franco Red I’m still very happy with this lathe and yes I can confirm the turret can be set at angles. I use this Lathe weekly

​@@michaelhille261thanks for the availability, it just arrived, I'm cleaning it and oleando, can you explain to me how to rotate it or you can do a tutorial on youtube

@Franco Red all you need to do is wind back the travel on the turret and there is an Allan head bolt in the centre under the turret cross feed . Loosen this and turn to desired angle and re tighten.

Thanks, it's very kind of you

@Davecollumbel I bought it from eBay but it came from these guys. m.vevor.com.au/best-sellers?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5eHt04Cj-wIVzplmAh19cQ5_EAAYASAAEgIfKvD_BwE they sell quality stuff and never had an issue with their products

@peter Moss that’s disappointing to hear I have put this through it’s paces and don’t need a tail stock. I’d be interested to see what’s wrong with your lathe head . Does it move with chuck removed , is it the shaft moving like a faulty bearing ?

There is a leaver on the slide to engage the feed

Really well still . I have done some serious turning on this and really happy with it. Holding up nicely

@@michaelhille261 Thanks for the reply. Just got mine but they sent me the MX400 vs the WM220V. Is your tail stock aluminum or steel?

@@jarobuilds my tail stock is steel .

Yes sure can I actually have it in one of my seaplane gearbox/ reduction drive videos on here. Cutting a m35 x1.5

Yes it is a bit 👍🏻

This one is 220volts

@Ed Cammarats they are MX-210 but that’s all they have on it . Velvor do a similar one but not sure if it’s the same

@@michaelhille261 do you know if the 600 euro 7x14 is any good to are they all the same

@jcmw I’m not sure but if they are the same brand or look the same chances are they could be from the same manufacturer. The quality of this one I was quite impressed with .

This link to the seller of the lathe does not list the lathe you demonstrated on KZfaq. I have searched the internet and cannot find a listing for wm220v lathe. Any additional information you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks

Lathe shows a different tail stock and bed width appears to be wider than the lathe seller lists.

Ridiculous. I use a CNC mill for pencil sharpening.
