  • Small footprint, big on value!
Style: VSR MIDI Lathe
I purchased this lathe and have no regrets! The mother compensates for load, maintaining the selected RPM. there is a lag, so if your in the middle of a cut, don’t back off on the tool pressure. Maintain and the machine will reward you with the RPM. everything works as well as higher priced machines. Quiet as the proverbial Church Mouse! Tailstock travel is good! I did buy a chuck and a drill chuck with a #2 Morse Taper for hogging out material with large Drills. Love the speed ranges that each of the three selections provide. I usually run the middle range and only select the outer ranges as needed. As with any wood lathe, your tool section, quality, and sharpness will be the determining factor for your enjoying this great machine. I like the weight of the machine! I have it on a bench that serves me multiple uses. When I’m turning, I slide it forward and it’s heft keeps it in place without the need to attach it to the bench. Then when I’m finished, I just slide it to the back of the bench, cover it for protection and it stays there safe until needed. When you buy a lathe, buy the largest one you have room for! I do not regret buying this one! Would I consider purchasing a different lathe? Only if I had more room, and then it would be a Rikon product! ... show more

  • Good product
Style: VSR MIDI Lathe
Very sturdy with all the power and features one wants. My "STOP" switch came apart about the second time I used it so I called the help line to be told to email my request. After a week of hearing nothing I asked for an update and to my surprise the President responded on a Sunday and promised to have a new switch mailed immediately. By Monday morning I had proof of posting and by Wednesday I had the switch. I also received a very good set of instructions to fit the new one which I did in 10 minutes. ... show more

  • The Rikon 70-150 midi lathe from Vera Tools: an excellent experience!
Style: VSR MIDI Lathe
The lathe arrived on time and with no damage to the packaging. Kudos to the Amazon driver who helped load it on to my dolly. Definitely service above and beyond. Setting up the lathe was straightforward and easily accomplished. The lathe is everything the authors of the reviews I read in woodworking sites and publications. In short, it is a high quality tool that is well suited for a beginner or beyond. I also want to give a shout out to Vera Tools for making sure the lathe was delivered to me within a week! Finally, the Amazon Prime drivers were just the best! From the tenor of this you can tell I’m a very satisfied customer! ... show more

  • Well made, good price
Style: VSR MIDI Lathe
No response from tech after lathe delivered with cracked plastic cover. Does not affect operation of lathe. Machine works very well and appears to be well made. Just hope nothing serious happens given others comments on tech support.

  • Great lathe.
Style: VSR MIDI Lathe
This is a good midi lathe. Has enough power to move a large dense bowl blank. The moveable control box is convenient and the stop button is good for emergency stops. I was missing the wrenches and knock out bar. Yellowhammer tools and Rikon sent them in short order.

  • Solid midi for a sensible price
Style: VSR MIDI Lathe
17/09/22: I haven't turned with this yet as I need to build a stand, but I have inspected/cleaned/assembled everything so far and have tested the motor. This unit arrived packaged in styrofoam and cardboard, but surprisingly it arrived with just a few dings in the box, unlike what has been reported by others. The motor is really quiet, not that I expected a lot of noise, but this is definitely a quality build. The belt change system will take a bit of finagling and getting used to, but the instructions are fairly clear. Once I have tested it out, I will return with an update! ... show more
