Using the stock tool post (which is the same dimensions for the 2 lathes - the MicroLux a Sieg, the Vevor a RealBull) here's a 12mm insert tool in the Vevor. The brass height gauge is at spindle

Thanks, Roy - I didn't know about those. Actually my mini (cheap) DTI will reach almost as far into the spindle as the Starrett attachment. Could a coaxial centering indicator be used for checking an

Thanks, Michael.

Your MicroMark/MicroLux lathe is a SIEG, Your Vevor lathe looks like a RealBull clone. There were some differences in the two lathes. At first glance most would identify the Vevor as a RealBull and

There's a dial indictor attachment for that! < https://www.starrett.com/metrology/product-detail/670B > Roy

Compound slide height above ways: I thought I would be able to swap tools in their QCTP holders between my Microlux 7x14 and my Vevor 7x14. Surprise! The height to the top of the compound slide is

Mark- Thanks for that info and ideas about checking the type of bearings in the Vevor. As you say, there's no easy way to get a definitive answer. I'm quite curious by nature, but even for me there's

My piece of lexan was thick enough that I could take a hair off so the shaft would fit. A gear was sticking up a tad also but since it did nothing on the part sticking up I just sanded it down till it

So I plugged it in and it ran. On the face of it everything seemed fine. Then I hand wound the carriage and what a racket. Short story the half nut was catching on the thread. Also when the nut was

Don’t measure off of a dead center. The dead center might not be perfect. Measure off of the inside tapered surface of the spindle for your most accurate measurement. Michael - California, USA

Your comment inspired me to add that to my 'ToDo' list for my Vevor. :) I know that the open end of the spindle bore is almost perfect (<0.01 mm runout), but I don't think I have a way to reach very

The way we test the bearing's in the headstock on our South bend lathes is to put a solid bar through the spindle & put a indicator on the spindle & then you pull up on the rod & see what the

Pulling the bearings would be the most definitive way to tell but that's pretty extreme.? If they're not tapered roller bearings you then would have to replace the bearings. You can expose the front

A bit OFF tTOPIC But Here a utube on howto plexyglass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5nP7MDf63Y jack 47 71 George- I do have some 1/8 Lexan but this plastic was easier to cut. I didn't see the point

George- I do have some 1/8 Lexan but this plastic was easier to cut. I didn't see the point of apron covers until the carriage on my Microlux jammed for a few seconds in the middle of a cut, due to

Makes no differance at all but that would drive me nuts not being able to see inside and what's going on. Sounds stupid since I cant see it anyway ! george

I too bought the VEVOR 7X14 on impulse and have problems. The one I am trying to get them to correct is the taper of the spindle. When I placed a dead center in it I have 0.0035" run-out which is

Right! I've had my Microlux 7x14 pretty much stripped to pieces and re-assembled (switched headstock bearings even though it wasn't needed) so when my Vevor showed up I had 'no fear' about taking it

I got the carriage/saddle shims worked out, and the way thickness issues fixed, so the saddle is now sliding smoothly. I made an apron cover for the gears. It keeps the swarf out of the gears and also

Thanks, Kaj. No, I haven't checked the spindle bearings. Is there an easy way to do that?
