Re: Rust prevention
I second the Way Oil suggested by Bruce. I use it on all my tools that go in the drawer and I put it on the mill and the lathe. If it looks like it might rust, it gets a good coating...

Re: Rust prevention

Re: Vevor parts
You are correct, their 7x14 does have many of the parts that are on the Vevor 7x14. The part I need is one of them. For now I made a key that offset 0.032" (0.8mm) between the top and bottom halves

Re: Vevor parts
You buy new steel gears. Plastic is not best for a lathes. The 90T belt can be found on Amazon and Ebay. Vevor is just retailer you are on your own for replacement parts. Every part can be found on
Re: Vevor parts
