well it's a lathe ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.
as an old logan 820 owner, i have to say that I'm very impressed with this mini lathe, i wasn't expecting something so rigid as this is, for sure that it wont win any races but if u want to do some things in aluminum or bronze, yes, it can do it, it will take its time tho

Instrument, watchmakers lathes have been around for a long time. There are also mini milling machines as well. Unfortunately, these machines have their uses, but are very restrictive in what you can machine. Model engineering shows are fantastic when it comes to miniature machines and people who have limited space can produce some very professional models. Thanks.
Works great for carrying on my tool cart. Lots of little parts you need to replace on equipment that just need slight mods and you don't care to walk to the shop. Don't laugh at the toothpick maker till you see how accurate it really is.
il punto di forza che ti fa scegliere un mini tornio, dovrebbe esere la prcisione, data da un eccellente costruzione, e dal passo ridotto della guida del carro e del bancale, che permettono avanzamenti centesimali. Dal gioco che si vede ad occhio nudo quando avanzi l'utensile verso il pezzo, dal rallentare del mandrino quando tornisci, e dal fatto che il tutto sembra alluminio e plastica anzichè acciaio temprato e rettificato.

I have the older full plastic version of this. This is part of a multi tool range and you can actually get addons and parts for it. I have a heaver duty 4 jaw chuck for mine.
I got one, and frankly speaking YES, it allows to do many things, but NOT well. These modules are practical, but it's difficult or impossible to get them to align the rotation axles properly. The clutch also is not well centered and its jaws do not hold the object you're working on properly, centered and straight. So if you just want to have fun, go ahead but avoid if you want to do clean and precision work.
@@doxielain2231 Dead right there, one of the first things you learn the hard way when training to use one is to centre the workpiece in the chuck with a little dial gauge first before any machining or else you only ruin it.
So what would it take to make a mini lathe that is quality? Could a craftsman use a janky lathe to make better parts to replace inadequate parts? Or maybe there are better parts for sale that you could upgrade with?
I suppose it depends on the definition of "precision". I doubt you would be chasing micrometers with a tool like this. There are professional level tools available. Base price is going to be double what this model goes for. They can quickly jump up to thousands of dollars US.
i have similar lathe from thecooltool. i made many things on it for car, rc airplane model, bicycle, water valve... good things are: small , light, it can be carried in 1 or 2 suitcases, depends how many accessories you have, it is good for soft materials: wood, al, brass-you can go with 0.1-0.15mm deep cut. bad things are: electric motor has fixed speed and it rotates too fast and it is weak and it died very soon, it is better to install pwm to be able to control rpm and stronger motor from 12v car air compressor. it seams this chuck is made from al same as on mine, and it always loosen and i tried to fix it with more force and then teeth broke, so i had to buy chuck from sherline-very good thing, steel chuck., main bearings get loose very soon but it is better to make some adapter to be able to adjust pre load on main bearings that can prevent it from often bearing change. very soon will be worn brass nut that is below longitudinal moving table, and is better to buy m6 left thread tap/die to mill iron is very hard only mild steel with 0.05mm deep cut and very slow movement of knife. you need much more accessories to be able to do almost everything, i spent 2500 euros to have all, now i have proxxon pd250 because i had to mill inox. for undemanding requests and for not too often use it is good
Greetings. For all those who want a review I comment you that I have the 10-in-1 model of the same brand, and I can tell you with certainty that it is a good machine to work on small projects. The only thing they need to be careful about is giving it constant cleaning, lubrication and calibration as its modular design allows a lot of dirt to accumulate, and decalibration can occur frequently. (It is good to always check before each project, or even once a day if they use it very frequently and need very exact precision). It is true that the price can be somewhat expensive compared to other similar offers, but the grace would be in the high compatibility of its parts, so the ideal is always to opt for a pack that is more than 1 single machine, or simply be disposed to expand the kit in the future. I have even made mixes that do not make much sense, that you would not find in the market, but that have helped me in very particular projects. So without a doubt I can recommend it as a good complement for the workshop, to work * on a small scale *
Hi Stgo, you seem to know something. One like this would help me a lot for my hobby projects. Tell me whether this is a high precision machine. I felt that this one wobbles while rotating. Even the slider did not seem to be steady while adjusting. Thanks.
@@brijlal973 Yeah, I know your feeling, in this video that is a basic configuration, but with more parts you can make more precision. Some of the large and middle blocks have long threads with beds to acoplate more parts, that beds have teflon sliders that can be calibrated an stabilazed, that let it very precise. Only I forget to mention 1 thing: I made it a customization to the power source. The machine doesnt have an speed regulator to reduce the RPM, but in aliexpress is easy find one very cheap. I bought one and all the precision can be support when there is no excess of rpm. Of course will be better if the change of rpm were for a gear box, but for such small things, so much torque is never generated that a dimmer that regulates the current is not enough.
@@brijlal973 Indeed there is excessive game and more important than that due only to the pitch of the threaded rod. I drilled and tapped graduated lever to put a locking screw on the flat of the axle. It is necessary to catch up to make measurements. The residual game is approximately 3 graduations (0.12 mm)
Hello Stgo, I just received my 10 in 1 last week, seems to be a great mini tool, So I have a question, I am building the metal lathe so I have noticed that thr chuck has a "little"runout about .5 mm, so I wonder if there is a tweek in order to fix it or do I have to buy a better chuck?, thank you in advance and best regards from Mexico.
If only they sold a 4-jaw independent chuck for these things... It would alleviate some of the lack of 'precision' this machine most likely will have, even with fine tuning. Even the mini-lathe that is one order of magnitude bigger than this one has issues with attaining the needed accuracy for precision work, but as they say, you get what you pay for. The good news is that a machine like this can be upgraded to increase precision, torque/power, control and versatility, mainly with the headstock and powerplant which will need to be replaced with something that's actually precision machined, heavy, and solid, and by that I mean angular bearing mounts for both sides, a decent solid shaft for mounting the chuck, and a proper pulley or whatever powertrain can be utilized to run it, whether mini v-belt, chain or direct gear drive with a potential option for adding power feed and a decent quick change gearbox. Heck, 3d printed gears could work with that for this machine. A decent DC motor far more powerful than that puny little thing would come after improving the headstock into a real one, albeit miniature. The motor can go with a PSU powering a PWM speed controller (make sure the motor is built to work with that) and a means to reverse rotation, whether electric or mechanical. I don't think they make Morse tapers of the size that can fit for this machine, so one will have to find or make something to mount things like miniature drill chucks on that tailstock, among a few other things. Finally, the body. Precision with any lathe requires solid rigidity. On such a small scale like this, one can use T H I C C extruded aluminum square beam or even solid block/cast aluminum for the bed and major components like the headstock, as well as increase the clearance for items turned on it. For instance, in it's current configuration, you can't turn a grinder rotor / armature on this thing to deburr/clean the commutator bars, but add one spacer block each side and it can be done. Which brings me to another note - if you buy something like this for some serious use case, buy two sets, or at least buy another one whose parts are compatible with it, like the 6-in-1 bundle that not only looks similar but uses the same extruded aluminum stock and binders. This exponentially multiplies the versatility of tiny machines like these.
I would not use metal , as i had the more powerful 60w version with a variable speed upgrade and when cutting metal the 3 Jaw chuck broke in half and also you will burn out the little 24w motor. These little lathes are great for the small toy making stuff, so spend an extra £150 more and get a metal working lathe, if your into very small machining.
@@Xonkykong i cant recommend any lathe really as i have on had 4 lathes in my life. if your from the UK , Then i can say the Clark CL300 is very good for the price as it is made of high standards compared to cheaper imports that boast about more power but you end up rebuilding it to get it to be good. as plenty of vids on UA-cam showing about the problems with Chinese imports that has gone through no quality control. CL300 Clarke lathes are made in china but they have to be made correct and function to Clarks High spec as they have there reputation to keep up so hence the higher price, and that is why most hobby modelers buy them. If your in the market of buying a small lathe then watch many UA-cam vids and weigh up the option. The size you need and the type of metal your going to machine and of course the price factor All i can say is , in the 30+ years of metal working, Don't buy cheap or you will spend a lot of time upgrading and costing you a lot more or selling it to buy a better one
@@denbrisko1978 I did have this one 60W High Power Mini Metal Lathe Soft Metalworking Woodworking DIY Model Making and on the power cord it had a speed controller. well a voltage regulator to adjust the speed.
As usual it’s a DIY kit that, in its stock condition, quality and configuration, is only just barely able to do what it is made for… but at the very least, it can be improved. That will need a LOT more time and work, though. But a machine of this size is ideal for the folks who want to learn how to do the basics without too much danger, risk or expense.
Indeed there is excessive game and more important than that due only to the pitch of the threaded rod. I drilled and tapped graduated lever to put a locking screw on the flat of the axle. It is necessary to catch up to make measurements. The residual game is approximately 3 graduations (0.12 mm)

Yea good luck getting a good one from what I heard every 1 of those that come out of the factory working good you have 100 that come out crooked and working like like crap.
È talmente piccola e imprecisa persino nell'inserimento dei pezzi cilindrici, che da troppo l'impressione di un giocattolo quasi inutile. 🤔 Fosse di mezzo metro o meglio di un metro, avrebbe molto più senso per usi più congrui.
Esatto, ma chi compra un tornio cosi piccolo lo fa per fare lavoretti veramente piccoli. Mi rendo conto dei limiti che ha, ma secondo me per qualcuno potrebbe essere una valida soluzione. Ho solo voluto condividere un' oggetto, poi siete voi a decidere se vale o meno :-)
@@DanieleTartaglia si si hai fatto benissimo e sono perfettamente d'accordo con te l'informazione è utile e chi la riceve ha una possibilità in più di decidere consapevolmente! Ciao
Watch the spinning chuck closely, it wobbles. The most important part on a lathe is having a true precision chuck and spindle. Mine has an out of round spindle and when you clamp a perfectly round piece into the chuck, it wobbles, be aware. You can't get parts for this thing.
Nice demonstration. It would be nice if the vendors would put out specifications. Some of my questions were answered in the comments, but it would be nice to know if better chucks are available, replacement bearings, etc.

electric motor has fixed speed and it rotates too fast and it is weak and it died very soon, it is better to install pwm to be able to control rpm and stronger motor from 12v car air compressor.
it seams this chuck is made from al same as on mine, and it always loosen and i tried to fix it with more force and then teeth broke, so i had to buy chuck from sherline-very good thing, steel chuck., main bearings get loose very soon but it is better to make some adapter to be able to adjust pre load on main bearings that can prevent it from often bearing change.
very soon will be worn brass nut that is below longitudinal moving table, and is better to buy m6 left thread tap/die
to mill iron is very hard only mild steel with 0.05mm deep cut and very slow movement of knife.
you need much more accessories to be able to do almost everything, i spent 2500 euros to have all, now i have proxxon pd250 because i had to mill inox.
for undemanding requests and for not too often use it is good
Greetings. For all those who want a review I comment you that I have the 10-in-1 model of the same brand, and I can tell you with certainty that it is a good machine to work on small projects.
The only thing they need to be careful about is giving it constant cleaning, lubrication and calibration as its modular design allows a lot of dirt to accumulate, and decalibration can occur frequently. (It is good to always check before each project, or even once a day if they use it very frequently and need very exact precision).
It is true that the price can be somewhat expensive compared to other similar offers, but the grace would be in the high compatibility of its parts, so the ideal is always to opt for a pack that is more than 1 single machine, or simply be disposed to expand the kit in the future.
I have even made mixes that do not make much sense, that you would not find in the market, but that have helped me in very particular projects. So without a doubt I can recommend it as a good complement for the workshop, to work * on a small scale *
Hi Stgo, you seem to know something. One like this would help me a lot for my hobby projects. Tell me whether this is a high precision machine. I felt that this one wobbles while rotating. Even the slider did not seem to be steady while adjusting. Thanks.
@@brijlal973 Yeah, I know your feeling, in this video that is a basic configuration, but with more parts you can make more precision. Some of the large and middle blocks have long threads with beds to acoplate more parts, that beds have teflon sliders that can be calibrated an stabilazed, that let it very precise.
Only I forget to mention 1 thing: I made it a customization to the power source. The machine doesnt have an speed regulator to reduce the RPM, but in aliexpress is easy find one very cheap. I bought one and all the precision can be support when there is no excess of rpm.
Of course will be better if the change of rpm were for a gear box, but for such small things, so much torque is never generated that a dimmer that regulates the current is not enough.
@@brijlal973 Indeed there is excessive game and more important than that due only to the pitch of the threaded rod. I drilled and tapped graduated lever to put a locking screw on the flat of the axle. It is necessary to catch up to make measurements. The residual game is approximately 3 graduations (0.12 mm)
Hello Stgo, I just received my 10 in 1 last week, seems to be a great mini tool, So I have a question, I am building the metal lathe so I have noticed that thr chuck has a "little"runout about .5 mm, so I wonder if there is a tweek in order to fix it or do I have to buy a better chuck?, thank you in advance and best regards from Mexico.
If only they sold a 4-jaw independent chuck for these things... It would alleviate some of the lack of 'precision' this machine most likely will have, even with fine tuning.
Even the mini-lathe that is one order of magnitude bigger than this one has issues with attaining the needed accuracy for precision work, but as they say, you get what you pay for.
The good news is that a machine like this can be upgraded to increase precision, torque/power, control and versatility, mainly with the headstock and powerplant which will need to be replaced with something that's actually precision machined, heavy, and solid, and by that I mean angular bearing mounts for both sides, a decent solid shaft for mounting the chuck, and a proper pulley or whatever powertrain can be utilized to run it, whether mini v-belt, chain or direct gear drive with a potential option for adding power feed and a decent quick change gearbox. Heck, 3d printed gears could work with that for this machine.
A decent DC motor far more powerful than that puny little thing would come after improving the headstock into a real one, albeit miniature. The motor can go with a PSU powering a PWM speed controller (make sure the motor is built to work with that) and a means to reverse rotation, whether electric or mechanical.
I don't think they make Morse tapers of the size that can fit for this machine, so one will have to find or make something to mount things like miniature drill chucks on that tailstock, among a few other things.
Finally, the body. Precision with any lathe requires solid rigidity. On such a small scale like this, one can use T H I C C extruded aluminum square beam or even solid block/cast aluminum for the bed and major components like the headstock, as well as increase the clearance for items turned on it. For instance, in it's current configuration, you can't turn a grinder rotor / armature on this thing to deburr/clean the commutator bars, but add one spacer block each side and it can be done. Which brings me to another note - if you buy something like this for some serious use case, buy two sets, or at least buy another one whose parts are compatible with it, like the 6-in-1 bundle that not only looks similar but uses the same extruded aluminum stock and binders. This exponentially multiplies the versatility of tiny machines like these.
I would not use metal , as i had the more powerful 60w version with a variable speed upgrade
and when cutting metal the 3 Jaw chuck broke in half and also you will burn out the little 24w motor.
These little lathes are great for the small toy making stuff,
so spend an extra £150 more and get a metal working lathe,
if your into very small machining.
What lathe would you recommend?
Which one you refer? I haven't seen any with variable speed motor
@@Xonkykong i cant recommend any lathe really as i have on had 4 lathes in my life.
if your from the UK ,
Then i can say the Clark CL300 is very good for the price as it is made of high standards compared to cheaper imports that boast about more power but you end up rebuilding it to get it to be good.
as plenty of vids on UA-cam showing about the problems with Chinese imports that has gone through no quality control.
CL300 Clarke lathes are made in china but they have to be made correct and function to Clarks High spec
as they have there reputation to keep up so hence the higher price, and that is why most hobby modelers buy them.
If your in the market of buying a small lathe then watch many UA-cam vids and weigh up the option.
The size you need and the type of metal your going to machine and of course the price factor
All i can say is , in the 30+ years of metal working, Don't buy cheap or you will spend a lot of time upgrading and costing you a lot more or selling it to buy a better one
@@denbrisko1978 I did have this one 60W High Power Mini Metal Lathe Soft Metalworking Woodworking DIY Model Making
and on the power cord it had a speed controller. well a voltage regulator to adjust the speed.

Thanks for sharing. I need this :D
video superbo realizzato
Hermoso tornito, !
So for resin and some balsa wood it's good enough?
Nice! U can do extruder parts and nozzles for 3d printers or vape tanks and mods...
Excellent
That is just too cool. It's on my list for sure.
As usual it’s a DIY kit that, in its stock condition, quality and configuration, is only just barely able to do what it is made for… but at the very least, it can be improved. That will need a LOT more time and work, though. But a machine of this size is ideal for the folks who want to learn how to do the basics without too much danger, risk or expense.
سلام بسیار عالی، متأسفانه ما در شرایط تحریم هستیم و این ابزارالات بدست ما نمیرسد و صد افسوس
nice, but there seems to be a helluva lot of play on those handwheels

screw threading?
Is there a tool rest for this lathe?
when simple things like revolving handles are made well. You know the unit has been designed quite good
Hola....que tal....muy bueno el video....quiero saber como se llama el tema al final del video, que es cantado por una mujer.....
Buongiorno Daniele, ho letto le specifiche tecniche di questo minitornio, a vederlo mi sembra strano che si possano lavorare pezzi di 135mm.....puoi confermarni che la distanza massimatra mandrino e punta è effettivaameente 135mm? Grazie
hey. What is the max width this mini lathe can handle? I need to work with 50mm diameter material
sliding paws on chuck can be reversed to catch from outside, i worked on 70mm wheels
Can you create an external thread with this?
Yea good luck getting a good one from what I heard every 1 of those that come out of the factory working good you have 100 that come out crooked and working like like crap.
does it work with stainless steel?
It would shake like Levis on stage.
Can the tail stock be adapted to take a drill?
funny toy for home works
È talmente piccola e imprecisa persino nell'inserimento dei pezzi cilindrici, che da troppo l'impressione di un giocattolo quasi inutile. 🤔
Fosse di mezzo metro o meglio di un metro, avrebbe molto più senso per usi più congrui.
puoi sempre usare la contropunta e fare un centrino in testa al pezzo da elaborare...sempre che la contropunta permetta di montare un piccolo mandrino
Esatto, ma chi compra un tornio cosi piccolo lo fa per fare lavoretti veramente piccoli. Mi rendo conto dei limiti che ha, ma secondo me per qualcuno potrebbe essere una valida soluzione. Ho solo voluto condividere un' oggetto, poi siete voi a decidere se vale o meno :-)
@@DanieleTartaglia si si hai fatto benissimo e sono perfettamente d'accordo con te l'informazione è utile e chi la riceve ha una possibilità in più di decidere consapevolmente!
Ciao
@@zolatanaffa87 Purtroppo no, ma nel fai da te tutto è possibile :-) forse farò un video upgrade con alcune migliorie.
Can it drill a center hole in steel tube?
Биения же! Заготовка ходуном ходит!
Bonjour 👋 peut-il usiner ka pierre de granite , l ambre , l argile , le verre et le carbone ? Merci ++
E' utilizzabile per filettare acciaio? Ne dubito.
Is there in shopee or lazada
What is the maximum diameter material you can use with is? I'm trying to find a mini lathe to regroove skate wheels.
Berapa harganya mesin ini?
Watch the spinning chuck closely, it wobbles. The most important part on a lathe is having a true precision chuck and spindle. Mine has an out of round spindle and when you clamp a perfectly round piece into the chuck, it wobbles, be aware. You can't get parts for this thing.
what material is the chassis made of?...is it accurate?...can major improvements be made?
Can it cut threads ?
Where did you get the cutting tool for the ring ?
The chuck isnt very square, the work pieces jump up and down. It would be useless for boring anything that needed to be true.
Nice demonstration. It would be nice if the vendors would put out specifications. Some of my questions were answered in the comments, but it would be nice to know if better chucks are available, replacement bearings, etc.
sherline is best, they have chucks with 12x1mm thread, bearings are standard
Ciao Daniele , una domanda stupida ... Sulla contropunta , si possono mettere anche le punte da trapano ??
Can you do watch parts repair? Mostly .03 mm pivots..
Un tempera ✏ un po costoso..
Ma con po (un bel po!) Di "aggiornamenti fatti da te..forse può essere utile.
Ciao Genio..👍💪🙋♂️
Price.? And delivery available India.?
Possible in india????
