Primeramente el pedido lo hice el 7 de diciembre 2022, se envio hasta el 29 de diciembre y llego el 4 de enero 2023. Mucho tiempo en surtirlo!!Desde que llego se pudo obervar que tenia algun problema, la caja estaba deforme de una esquina . Al abrirla efectivamente sufrio un golpe por lo que la espuma protectora se comprimio y se deshizo y la tapa negra que cubre las poleas se quebro, el metal a un lado de las polear tambien se abollo. El golpe tambien llego a la perilla de bloqueo del eje. Devolvi el equipo inmediatamente, ahora estoy a la espera del reembolso ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small footprint, big on value! *by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on 30 October 2021* 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!After having the lathe for going on three years I can say it performs well. Actually it’s a great lathe for safety. It has the torque needed to turn bowls at the maximum swing for the machine. But if you have a flaw in the wood that sets you up for a snag you can stop the lathe without breaking a tool or throwing something out. I have a couple of face plates, a chuck, live center , and conventional tools as well as inserted tools. I am limited on space but I did buy the extension for the lathe. This allows for spindles to be turned. Overall, anything I buy and can say I would buy it again three years later has to be looked at as a great buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Rikon 70-150 midi lathe from Vera Tools: an excellent experience! *by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on 18 August 2023* The lathe arrived on time and with no damage to the packaging.
