CREWORKS 1100W 8.7 x 29.5" Mini Metal Lathe, HP Motor Mini Benchtop Metal Lathe w 3-Jaw Chuck, 50-2250 RPM Power Metal Lathes for DIY Machining Wood & Metal Working Tool

Ho acquistato un tornio da questa ditta e non potrei essere più soddisfatto! All’inizio ho riscontrato alcuni piccoli problemi tecnici, ma sono rimasto davvero colpito dalla rapidità e dalla professionalità con cui il venditore ha gestito la situazione. L’assistenza clienti è stata impeccabile: il personale si è dimostrato estremamente disponibile, competente e attento alle mie esigenze, risolvendo ogni inconveniente in tempi brevissimi. Consiglio questa ditta a chiunque cerchi un servizio clienti attento e affidabile.

it is a good quality hobby lathe that is within reach for new machinists overall well made and the customer support is also very good you can pay more for a lathe half the size and of lesser quality with even less functionality so in my view it has been good value and has also been a worthwhile addition to my home workshop the test is "would I buy it again if I knew before how it would be?" the honest answer is yes I am very happy with it for my needs

Dopo alcune settimane di utilizzo, posso dire di essere davvero soddisfatto. È arrivato ben imballato in una cassa di legno ed offre un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Lo consiglio. Allego un esempio di lavoro: ho ridotto senza difficoltà il diametro del codolo di una fresa da 20 mm a 16 mm in acciaio temprato. È importante procedere con calma e rimuovere il materiale gradualmente. Aggiungo solo una cosa: non ha la centratura dell'utensile, io l'ho risolto adattando la torretta 250-000, foto allegata. Perfetta.

UPDATE: After speaking to Creworks it turns out the gap I'm seeing the carriage is there by design, from my understanding one "way" is for the carriage and the other for the tail stock. So i changed my rating to 5 starts. Sorry some of the images are not great. I am fully aware that with these Chinese type mini lathes, there is always some work needed to get them up and running, from deep cleaning and removing burrs, to various adjustments on the cross-slide/carriage, and adding proper oil and grease. The lathe arrived in about a week and was delivered with no issues, but I will say you definitely need a minimum of two people to move the crate. There was no damage to the packaging and everything inside was intact and stable. Getting the lathe out of the crate was not too difficult, and my overall impression upon inspection was good. There was no damage or scratches to any surfaces, everything was tight, and apart from the thick packing grease, all was clean. Everything that was shown in the product listing was included from the metal gears and spanners, to the extra chuck jaws/key and steady rests. I will say the steady rests are not heavy iron or steel they feel like aluminum or something as they are quite light. Overall, I'm happy with the lathe. I would have given it a full 5 stars, but the carriage not making full contact with the ways (see image) is a quality control issue that worries me a bit, as I’m still figuring out how to fine-tune and fix it. There was also one minor issue with one hole in the chip pan not quite lining up (see image), but that was an easy fix. Another worry was the spindle bore at the back side (see image) the surface finish inside is simply horrible. It doesn't go all the way through the bore, but it's a rough patch that immediately caught my eye.

5 stelle piene per la tempestività e gentilezza riscontrata, in caso di bisogno sapete di essere in buone mani. tornio da ferro e leghe leggere per uso hobbistico e di buona fattura, per ora funziona bene e da ottimi risultati senza pretese a livello professionale.
