Our take on the VEVOR Wood Lathe 3/4 HP 12in x 18in 5 Speeds

The VEVOR 12x18 is a benchtop wood lathe with a 3/4 HP motor, a 12-inch swing over the bed and 18 inches between centers. It offers five fixed spindle speeds selected by moving the belt on the pulley, plus a cast-iron bed and a tailstock with a quill. It suits hobby turners making bowls, spindles, pens and tool handles who want a low-cost entry machine and accept manual speed changes. Against variable-speed midi lathes it is simpler and less flexible, and reviewers note the light build and basic tool rest compared with name-brand machines.

Questions and answers

What can I turn on a 12x18 lathe?
Bowls up to about 12 inches across and spindles up to 18 inches long. Pens, handles, legs and small platters are well within its range.
Does it have variable speed?
No. It has five fixed speeds set by moving the belt between pulley steps, so you stop the machine to change speed.
Is 3/4 HP enough?
For small bowls and spindle work, yes. Large or out-of-balance blanks will slow it down, so take light cuts.
What spindle thread does it use?
It uses a 1-inch by 8 TPI spindle thread, the common size for chucks and faceplates. Check that your accessories match before buying.
Do I need to bolt it down?
It is strongly recommended. The lathe is light for its size and vibrates at higher speeds unless fixed to a sturdy bench.
What comes in the box?
Typically the lathe, a tool rest, a spur center, a live or cup tail center and a faceplate. Confirm the accessory list for the exact bundle.
Where is the VEVOR Wood Lathe 3/4 HP 12in x 18in 5 Speeds cheapest?
