I just got this model. I have enough "prior experience" to be dangerous. I bought this with the knowledge that I will have to beef up the machine. I will have to make a degree wheel using the lathe and either buy metal gears. Or turn my own gears and broach the gear teeth the hard way using the lathe or buy a cutter. Use this tool as a starting point to make itself a better and more manageable machine. Quick change adjustable tool post is on order. I am using the current POS tool post. I had the shim it to find center with my bits. Eventually a 4 jaw chuck and better head stock bearings. I bought this to do small scale hobby items. Make a few brass shotgun shells, turn out a few reloading dies, etc. But is was not purchased with the illusion if it being a high end turn key ready machine.
Mine is almost the exact copy I paid $455.oo free shipping from cal. To mi. If you buy loctite every thing that is screwed in. All handles etc. My motor gave me fits. Acted like 100/of a horse power. Took side and front and back covers off. Motor was loose. Would stop at least amount of drilling ect. After 30 days. Be very careful adjust the two studs that keep the belt tight they screw in the motor just a few threads. You can reach over and pressure on motor while righting and use loctite. There are also two bolts above the motor in rear that you can adjust down on the motor. Adjusters front. Snug each one down. Alternating slowly until there is a fare amount of pressure. Don't hurry this and snap a stud out of motor.

You do know that it's not too smart to spin the Chuck that fast without locking something in the Jaws" right I heard kids in the background including yourself not real safe to do that , but it's a nice cute little lathe , would be a nice accessory to the garage
looks that way but its not, but i think that hes put the rubber vibration rings between the oil catch tray (and back) and the lathe bed, as the rear of the head stock shakes too, mind that these cheap lathes are accurate, they are not precision, its hobby grade for the garden shed
Kjell Ringström He took an agressive cut at high speed. The machine let him know it wasn't happy. You can't expect a 100lb lathe to operate like a 2 ton machine.
The only thing wrong was it wasn't secured down properly hence all the chatter and the workpiece was way to big. If you scaled it up to a 10 inch chuck that lump of aluminum would be huge. Those things are designed for 25mm rods.
It's a kit with all the hard work done. You get to finish it. I ran the DC drive til it smoked and then installed a small 3phase motor and VFD driving a jackshaft made from the old DC motor. The nylon high/low gears inside the headstock are a fuse JIC you do something stupid. I'd rather snap one of those inexpensive nylon gears than bend or break something else that's harder to replace. I've never had an issue with the nylon change gears on my 7x14. It's a nice little machine for making bushings and other small parts.
I agree that a lot of Chinese electrics are both badly designed and manufactured but what do you expect for the price. Electrics are easy enough to fix and even good quality 3ph speed inverter modules are not too expensive.
Would have saved me a bunch of time with the $700 price tag. Title calls it the cheapest... but vid prior to yours refers to a mere $600 lathe and harbor freight sells a mini for about $550. When a lathe capable of cutting very fine threads in very thin material... such as a rifle scope housing & for about $75.... then I will be in.
It helps to lock the tool post down before you tighten the screws on to the tool holder. But i'm glad to see you know how to work a $2 on and off switch
All you "master machinists" should know this, but no one has pointed it out yet so I'll take the time to do so. However, you should keep in mind, I only have about 15 years experience in metal work. This lathe isn't as bad as a lot of folks make it out to be, so I'll start from the obvious and work on. It's a "mini" lathe and is not designed to do production runs. The "monkey metal" or to you "AVE" fans "chinesium," performs its job perfectly well. The sole purpose of the metal ways and what not are to provide rigidity for machining metals WITHIN its intended range. That does not mean you can chuck up a 6" billet of steel round stock and hog it down to 1" in, let's say, 10 minutes. As this "operator" shows us all the improper way to turn steel, I'll point out that the speeds and feeds he's using are unacceptable for the machine as well as the quality of the tooling. You're not going to be able to take 0.5" passes with this machine on steel, without sacrificing the life of either the machine or the tooling. Now for the, apparently, not so obvious to the majority. The "plastic," very broad and generic term, gears will be just fine for what the machine is designed for and what you are actually paying for. You can't pay $500 and expect top, not even JET, quality. But let's say that you are ok with working with this $500 "toy" and want to push it to the max. Fine. Use the "toy" and machine your own replacement gears out of whatever material your engineering degree says you should. You know, since y'all are expert engineers and tool and die makers. But then again, that's just my $0.02. What do I know?
44 years in metalworking, probably a dozen different shops, and I second your comments. Yup, those that think the "Plastic" gears are no good should just go out, buy the milling cutters they'll need, probably at least three of them, then the indexing fixture for the mill, turn the stock to the required sizes, bore them with any precision, and go the couple hundred hours they'll need. I have three lathes now, four if you want to count the Goodell Pratt, from a 12 x 36 Grizzly to a brand spanking new Microlux 7 x 16, with the HF 9 x 20 in the middle. Nothing really wrong with any of them. Time and patience pays off. Hurry is the mother and father of all screw ups.

DO NOT BUY THIS! Save yourself some headaches. This machine has problems everywhere and you will be dealing with them EVERY time you use it. There are very important bolts that loosen and gears stop moving when you use it. I put threadlock on but it doesn’t matter because it’s a stainless screw and there’s too much torque on it. It has some housing this is actually trash plastics(like water bottle plastic!). Unbelievable. Pretty blatant disrespect for the product itself and disgusting quality.

It would have been very helpful if you had cleaned up the bar, measured it and then moved the table in 1 thou, 5 thou and 10 thou (according to the dial) then measured the bar to see if it cut anywhere near those sizes. apart from that it looked like it needed a good oiling.
The one time I did it it missed me because I was about 7 years old and it was a big lathe....I had a 8x8 slab used as a block for trucks to stand on but had to jump down to start the lathe spinning......I still got a nasty lump tho as it whizzed over my head straight thru the rear window of my old mans pride and joy.
Harald Pettesen yeah he had a vk½ Holden commodore which now isn't worth much but then it was only a few years old and he paid 10k cash for it like a month earlier. I deserved it....he had told me at least a thousand times lol
Harald Pettesen my dad was a kind man as well, but I was a little shit, if he hadn't given me a whoopup every now and then I'd probably be a dumb f#&k in jail by now.

@@ctorregrosaaj When a video maker "tests" something on VIDEO, call me crazy, but usually they talk about or at least write a sentence pertaining to the "tests"... That's called a fucking review smartass. Anymore questions?
I have been using one of these for over 5 yrs. , still runs good . Out of the 'box' they need adjustment . I also use a mini mill bought at the same time as the lathe . These are not heavy duty machines but they get the job done .
Why is everyone DOGGING and Downing this little lathe? It can be a nice little lathe if treated like a Tool Room Lathe. The Fact is everyone seems to want to Run it at 1200 RPM and attempt to cut steel beyond the I.C. Size of the inserts they are using. The Lathe does fine cutting steel. The Operators however,... Forget to figure out the Cutting Speed Equations and do not factor in the Inscribed Cutting Circle of their Inserts.
I don’t understand how this can be any kind of real world test. Nothing this person did was acceptable . He couldn’t even open the box correctly. Waste of time seeing this video.
I bought almost the same machine here in South Africa. It has steel gears all the way and I am very satisfied with what I paid for. I can machine to .025 on crappy mild steel and that is good enough for me. Keep in mind is is a MINI lathe so don't expect to take 2 mm deep cuts with it.
Gs.DIY. Ideas. I apologise in advance if for some reason you are unable to but some spoken descriptions of your review of this lathe could really be useful.
No, don't apologize for that , you demonstrated the machine, how it ran and what it sounded like in a short concise video. There are plenty of other videos out there where someone drones on and on ad nauseam to the point that the video becomes unwatchable.
You should stay away from lathes your a danger to yourself and anyone around you . You don't have clue about use these machines and how dangerous they can be in the wrong hands scary.
brilliant idea to at the end show us the material exactly in the position of the screen where you know your logo "GS" would be! Or worse while editing the vid place the logo just on top?! Ya, it`s a little stupe.
I need a lathe of that size for modeling. Tell me how good this one is and does it have two way carriage and cross stock travel, or only the carriage goes left and right? Thanks. Greetings from Australia.
Mick, hi, it has the functions of a bigger lathe. If you get one, go around it, adjust gibs, ( gibs ! sorry just in case the spelling police are out again ) etc. It should be fine for your use. Had mine about 5 year, no problems with it, I adjusted the gibs, drilled oil holes on the leadscrew bearing blocks, and that has been it. Hope this helps.
I ever bought almost the same model lathe, however mine has a digital readout. After adjustments, the lathe did the job I expected. I only cut the soft metal, never tried steel. Actually, this is mini machine although its size is not suitable for a small room. For the price, I really recommend it for a beginner or just DIY simple parts. Mine is installed plastic gears. Spare gears is included. You could replace metal gears easily. The machine is not designed High / Low gear box. This machine has not the thread dial. If 550W is enough, probably H/L gears box is not the issue. I spent $15 for a thread dial and DIY an adapter for the dial to fit the lathe.
Apparently this was recorded by a verbally impaired person (aka a mute) Gave absolutely no info on lathe, where it was purchased, cost, etc. Looks a lot like the ones sold by Harbor Freight, Grizzly, etc. Chinese made, plastic gears in head, sealed ball bearings on spindle, extremely poor quality steel in shafts and spindle. If you want to have a toy to play with these are fine. Basically a throw away machine when they break, not worth repair cost, just buy another. One of the best buys for hobby metal workers is the Grizzly G4000. Nice lathe, tapered roller bearings that can be lubed, convenient oilers, altogether a nice machine for the money. cost is currently around $1600 but well worth it. BTW I am not a hobby metalworker but am a retired master machinist with 38 years under my belt. I do know a few things LOL
Never used it or tried it out. However the old version of the G4015 was a bit too small in my opinion and the new version has almost 3 3/4 more capacity. My only issue with machines of this type is that by trying to combine two completely different machining operations into one small machine you must inevitably lose something along the way. Again this is a personal opinion. I have a Bridgeport vertical milling machine that I bought from a shop that was closing with 2-axis digital readout, vise, superspacer, and dividing head with tailstock, plus full set of colletts for under $3000. I do gunsmithing and need the extra heft and precision. Also my personal lathe is a 10 X 48 geared head South Bend with DRO. I guess I'm picky because I did this for a living for many years.
William Styers....I hate videos where the makers flap their lips all the time. What's he suppose to run his gums about? He's not the engineer. He's taking a look at it for the first time like everyone else. As for where he bought it, use your fingers. Only took me 90 seconds and I can't even type. You follow up as though you know everything about this machine. Why don't you go make your own stupid video and you can run your mouth all you want?
Even worse than redundant commentary is "music". This has neither. I just want a lathe to make small brass steam fittings and such, this would do the job.
I got that same lathe and it was defective. Company ignored me till I got PayPal involved. They sent a new one but it is defective too. The item shipped from 1hour away from me but they won’t take it back and return my money until I ship it all the way to Hong Kong. Mine was purchased through Vevor
I had one. Spend some time before you use it and make adjustments to any slop in any part that not within tolerance. I would suggest checking all the bolts and screws that they are tight. Go thru all the functions and get used to how it works. Learn the feed and speeds in machining on a lathe. Learn the different types of metals, how to identify them using a file or grinding sparks. Learn safety- eye protection, NO GLOVES, no loose clothes or long hair hanging down. Learn the cutting tools and how they are made and constructed- which are better for cutting certain metals- HSS or carbide. These little machines can turn out some very good pieces and are fun to use for small parts- I wish I still had my old one, small parts are better done on this lathe than on my 13x40.
I agree. To many people think these things are good to go out the box. Any of the mini lathes all are Chinese. Sure it should work out the box and it will rough something out. But anyone that’s bought one should fully break it down clean all the packing grease off re oil properly correctly tighten everything to remove the slop. Maybe do some lapping ect on it an really smooth shit out an any of them can be made with a little effort put into it an maybe upgrades over time. Problem is. Even though people know their Chinese. They expect it to work like some fine tuned industrial lathe out the box.
The fact you had nothing clamp in your spindle while running it is enough evidence you shouldn't even be thinking about having a lathe. Watch a basic video before playing with it mate
Sotm it looks like the one at harbor freight except a different color, priced around 550-600 bucks, i want one but don't know how it will hold up or if parts are available
Good luck obtaining parts for anything sold by H F. That's a no-go. You might get lucky ordering parts for one of the many other look alike clones with a different name. I think these are pretty much the same machine with different paint and brand name.
Norman Bates: Little Machine shop . com for parts. They have them for almost all of the Sieg lathes as well as mills. Doesn't matter who you bought it from, they all come down the same lines from the same manufacturer.

Yes I agree with Jrsy, this guy on the video knows nothing about lathing, he's just a scamper.
The only thing wrong was it wasn't secured down properly hence all the chatter and the workpiece was way to big. If you scaled it up to a 10 inch chuck that lump of aluminum would be huge. Those things are designed for 25mm rods.
Wow this is lathe
I used to sell these they are junk, plastic gears that strip, electrics that burn out.
It's a kit with all the hard work done. You get to finish it.
I ran the DC drive til it smoked and then installed a small 3phase motor and VFD driving a jackshaft made from the old DC motor.

I bought almost the same machine here in South Africa. It has steel gears all the way and I am very satisfied with what I paid for. I can machine to .025 on crappy mild steel and that is good enough for me. Keep in mind is is a MINI lathe so don't expect to take 2 mm deep cuts with it.
hi pal, it seems at first the metal spin like de-centered?
No this one is trash

That is absolutely garbage ,by a smithy. Yes it’s cost more but it keeps and can repeat 0.001” pretty good. Hey learn your speed and feed.
Do you have a voice, you know, which you could use to describe things?
I am sorry for that 🙁
Gs.DIY. Ideas. I apologise in advance if for some reason you are unable to but some spoken descriptions of your review of this lathe could really be useful.
Deffo. Do a review.
@@Gs_DIY_ideas .... It'd be nice to know the pros and cons of the product
No, don't apologize for that , you demonstrated the machine, how it ran and what it sounded like in a short concise video. There are plenty of other videos out there where someone drones on and on ad nauseam to the point that the video becomes unwatchable.
Boss how much mini letha
Such hobby lathe for metal designing, Ideal for grommet die. Size from nut and bolt etc.?
You should stay away from lathes your a danger to yourself and anyone around you . You don't have clue about use these machines and how dangerous they can be in the wrong hands scary.
Love these people that get a machine out of the box do not check a bloody thing wack a bit of steel in it and go use a little brain power..
Is there a link to the lathe anywhere?
Am I missing it? If not, what's the point doing a video on a random lathe?
Its beautiful excellent tiny lathe, never thought that I would be seeing such such very small lathe. I congratulate the inventor.
Hi
٩
Just a high speed clip of an amateur using cheap chinese crap.
Without any naration except for a few Smurfs wich came along..
Good lathe machine.
How much? Have in where
Fazaal from sri lanka
Fuck it. I'll save my bucks and get a Sherline.
brilliant idea to at the end show us the material exactly in the position of the screen where you know your logo "GS" would be!
Or worse while editing the vid place the logo just on top?! Ya, it`s a little stupe.
i have a same lathe in my studio. it works fine. not perfect, but fine
Link to the product please
How much is the Idlib link in the north of the liberated Syria?
I need a lathe of that size for modeling. Tell me how good this one is and does it have two way carriage and cross stock travel, or only the carriage goes left and right? Thanks. Greetings from Australia.
Mick, hi, it has the functions of a bigger lathe. If you get one, go around it, adjust gibs, ( gibs ! sorry just in case the spelling police are out again ) etc. It should be fine for your use. Had mine about 5 year, no problems with it, I adjusted the gibs, drilled oil holes on the leadscrew bearing blocks, and that has been it. Hope this helps.
There are lines between junk, toys and tools, why be on the wrong side?
I ever bought almost the same model lathe, however mine has a digital readout. After adjustments, the lathe did the job I expected. I only cut the soft metal, never tried steel. Actually, this is mini machine although its size is not suitable for a small room. For the price, I really recommend it for a beginner or just DIY simple parts.
Mine is installed plastic gears. Spare gears is included. You could replace metal gears easily. The machine is not designed High / Low gear box. This machine has not the thread dial.
If 550W is enough, probably H/L gears box is not the issue. I spent $15 for a thread dial and DIY an adapter for the dial to fit the lathe.
hi can you supply the male and model
im planning to get a mini lathe, i will only use it for plastic and resin, would you suggest this china lathe for that?
@@club9decks My lathe is still working great after years. You have to prepare few fuses in case. Surely, I still recommend it to cut the softer metal.
This mini lathe sounded like mine when I got it - and I had to make a whole new motor mount.....
Apparently this was recorded by a verbally impaired person (aka a mute) Gave absolutely no info on lathe, where it was purchased, cost, etc. Looks a lot like the ones sold by Harbor Freight, Grizzly, etc. Chinese made, plastic gears in head, sealed ball bearings on spindle, extremely poor quality steel in shafts and spindle. If you want to have a toy to play with these are fine. Basically a throw away machine when they break, not worth repair cost, just buy another. One of the best buys for hobby metal workers is the Grizzly G4000. Nice lathe, tapered roller bearings that can be lubed, convenient oilers, altogether a nice machine for the money. cost is currently around $1600 but well worth it. BTW I am not a hobby metalworker but am a retired master machinist with 38 years under my belt. I do know a few things LOL
What are your thoughts on the Grizzly G4015z William Styers?
Never used it or tried it out. However the old version of the G4015 was a bit too small in my opinion and the new version has almost 3 3/4 more capacity. My only issue with machines of this type is that by trying to combine two completely different machining operations into one small machine you must inevitably lose something along the way. Again this is a personal opinion. I have a Bridgeport vertical milling machine that I bought from a shop that was closing with 2-axis digital readout, vise, superspacer, and dividing head with tailstock, plus full set of colletts for under $3000. I do gunsmithing and need the extra heft and precision. Also my personal lathe is a 10 X 48 geared head South Bend with DRO. I guess I'm picky because I did this for a living for many years.
William Styers thanks for insight.
William Styers....I hate videos where the makers flap their lips all the time. What's he suppose to run his gums about? He's not the engineer. He's taking a look at it for the first time like everyone else. As for where he bought it, use your fingers. Only took me 90 seconds and I can't even type. You follow up as though you know everything about this machine. Why don't you go make your own stupid video and you can run your mouth all you want?
Even worse than redundant commentary is "music". This has neither. I just want a lathe to make small brass steam fittings and such, this would do the job.
Get rid of the plastic gears......Replace with steel gears.
I got that same lathe and it was defective. Company ignored me till I got PayPal involved. They sent a new one but it is defective too. The item shipped from 1hour away from me but they won’t take it back and return my money until I ship it all the way to Hong Kong. Mine was purchased through Vevor
I had one. Spend some time before you use it and make adjustments to any slop in any part that not within tolerance. I would suggest checking all the bolts and screws that they are tight. Go thru all the functions and get used to how it works. Learn the feed and speeds in machining on a lathe. Learn the different types of metals, how to identify them using a file or grinding sparks. Learn safety- eye protection, NO GLOVES, no loose clothes or long hair hanging down. Learn the cutting tools and how they are made and constructed- which are better for cutting certain metals- HSS or carbide.
These little machines can turn out some very good pieces and are fun to use for small parts- I wish I still had my old one, small parts are better done on this lathe than on my 13x40.
I agree. To many people think these things are good to go out the box. Any of the mini lathes all are Chinese. Sure it should work out the box and it will rough something out. But anyone that’s bought one should fully break it down clean all the packing grease off re oil properly correctly tighten everything to remove the slop. Maybe do some lapping ect on it an really smooth shit out an any of them can be made with a little effort put into it an maybe upgrades over time. Problem is. Even though people know their Chinese. They expect it to work like some fine tuned industrial lathe out the box.
The fact you had nothing clamp in your spindle while running it is enough evidence you shouldn't even be thinking about having a lathe. Watch a basic video before playing with it mate
FYI. I'm A first class machinist for 19 yeas now. I know this stuff 👍
Hello. How are you? I need a lathe like that. Be small. I am a buyer.
What cheap Chinese lathe is it? Since you don't talk! Link to where bought and cost.
Sotm it looks like the one at harbor freight except a different color, priced around 550-600 bucks, i want one but don't know how it will hold up or if parts are available
Good luck obtaining parts for anything sold by H F. That's a no-go.
You might get lucky ordering parts for one of the many other look alike clones with a different name. I think these are pretty much the same machine with different paint and brand name.
Norman Bates: Little Machine shop . com for parts. They have them for almost all of the Sieg lathes as well as mills. Doesn't matter who you bought it from, they all come down the same lines from the same manufacturer.
pointless information as this video will be viewed worldwide and retailers and prices will vary with location and time. How hard is it to key a few simple words into google and see what comes out?
Chinese Mini Metal Lathe = for play children.
Video is a waste, No captions
No voice, Don't know if it is good or bad.
you use too much speed and the tool seems like not aligned to the work. looks like you need some more experience and practice.
