I was having issues with a pulley grinding and clucking. San looked into it I found a bearing had busted apart. I got a new searing and now it runs smooth.
Hi, this is interesting. I'm making a pulley that went bad on one seems they put them together different. The bearings are pressed in and slide on the shaft on mine and it rocks and makes noise also.
My HF Chinese bandsaw pulley had key dislodge and only a half or less of the pulley ID contacts the motor shaft, so it slid and munched both the pulley ID and the shaft OD, just as yours was wobbling there. SMP Rotary said these mini lathes have the comparative stiffness and torsional resistance of a string of spaghetti (he has a Maho). I want to anchor mine to a granite/epoxy or concrete block... Commenting helps the algorithm immensely....
after watching some other videos on youtube concerning import lathes like yours, i ordered the same brand you have and have already worked out what i'm going to be upgrading once it gets here. So far the Vevor lathes have been showing better cutting finishes than others which is why i went that route particularly because they come with better spindle bearings than most. However, one thing i read about these belt driven ones is that the belts they come with are trash. So I recommend you buy (or try to find) better ones than what it came with. I will be inspecting the size of mine when it arrives and ordering better ones accordingly. I may even turn some pulleys and build a small cnc dremel mill for toothed pulleys and belts.
Thanks for sharing. Please do more review on this lathe, pros cons.. issues etc..
This helps me a lot. I’m having the same exact issue with my vevor lathe. Hopefully, I can find the correct parts to fix it.
Sústruh vevor je pekný na výstavu, pracovať s nim je to srot. Mám doma výstavný kusy Poslali mi to z Čiech. 😂😂😂😂😂

The belts are Poly-V 4PJ-400
How’s the lathe doing? I am looking to possibly buy this one as well!
have you found a QCTP for this Lathe?
