These lathes are available from a variety of suppliers under many names, they are all based on the same castings but features vary a lot. I chose the Vevor lathe for several reasons, it had a 500w motor where most others are 350w, I chose the option of metal change gears as almost all the others use plastic with metal being offered as a further purchase. I did not go for the one with the extras as I already had most of them. It is not without its faults, the motor needs checking to see if it is mounted square and done up tightly, the gibs will need adjusting and oiling, play in all 3 leadscrews needs to be adjusted and it would not hurt to strip and clean all the moving parts and reassemble them well with grease, this would apply to any mini lathe from any supplier. It has been a good tool and has served me well so far, I have made a lot of changes to it and added extras as I needed them. Parts are easy to obtain and there are many videos showing mods and changes that make them better, but despite saying all this, it worked straight from the crate with minimal adjustment. I am a model maker and most of what I make is very small but I also turn bigger parts when needed. The size of the lathe is fine for me, I even turned a bush in aluminium with a 58mm outer diameter from a piece of 3 inch bar, that was a long slow job.
