Anyone have experience of Vevor 7x14 lathe, they state that "Spindle is supported by precision tapered roller bearings, spindle accuracy within 0.01 mm.", so no need of spindle bearing mod?

Cheers,

I like plastic change gears. They are more quiet and are the weak link in case of a crash.
If adjusted correctly will last forever. I have had the same set for over eleven years.

Never broke a plastic change gear.? ? My current 7x does not have headstock gears, but never had a problem on a previous 7x with 2-speed headstock.? ? There are many issues with these lathes - the plastic gears are not one of them.? ?JMO
