Vevor Milling Machine Work Table Slide Milling Working Cross Table Machine Compound Slide Milling TablePrecision Milling Cross Worktable (7.3 x 4 Inch) - Amazon.com

I purchase several things on Amazon and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description, I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Sellers have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

It’s a good budget tool. I read the reviews and agree with them. They have it painted in areas that should be polished. Areas that should be a smooth polished surface are a little rough. Without adding anything to it, just cleaning it up, polishing contacting surfaces, and hitting the threads with a wire wheel on a dremel. It’s a decent tool. I do suggest oiling it and taking time to clean it up some. You could use it right out the gate if you wanted to but the fit and finish will be sufficient better with some elbow grease. I added two pictures just to show some areas I noticed had paint that I thought it shouldn’t be. The paint was causing some areas to kind of bind up a little bit. All in all I’m pretty happy with it

The bad is it has rough edges in the assembly parts and does not fit standard TEE nut. I like that it is sturdy, the cross nut thread is tight on traverse rod threads. I feel that is very important. It can be squared up during a set up. The working surface looks great. I purchased for drill press center alignment and can already see it will work great for that. Plan to mount a small drill vise to the top and will have the TEE slot table below if needed. Also plan to shim up the race for a little more clearance in the dial. I recommend this as it was the only one I could find in this form for any price. On mine 1 revolution dial turn is around 2mm although the dial is segmented 0 to 4. Fit perfect on a Central Macinery 12 speed, 10 inch benchtop drill table.

Really a great item for the price, great value, very pleased with this item

I guess for the price this is ok, but it is not usable out of the box. First, there are NO/NO instructions. I really don 't need them, but the biggest problem I had was when I tightened the nut on the shaft it locked up. I assumed it was metal on metal and that was the design. To my surprise when I took it apart it had thrust bearings where they should be! Which means I could snug up the nut and be good. But.... when I snugged up the nut it locked up. Because they failed to install any shims under the thrust washer. So I did that and it works ok now. It's not a precise thing, so don't get your hopes up. So to give this a better rating they need to machine the surface that the thrust bearings seat and use shims so that the bearing is not just a decoration. Also, the cheap luck nut they used needs more surface area. As is, the nylon doesn't do anything and the surface area is so small the knob rocks on the shaft. All in all for a copy of a real vise they get a 2/5. If they had any clue what they were doing this would get a 4.

The media could not be loaded. One axis has almost 1/8” of play. This is from where the threaded lug goes into the casting- the hole is too large. Thinking about shimming or tack weld. I ran a file along all gliding surfaces and oiled everything up, which helped movement.

Needed complete disassembly, cleaning and some filing which is what I expected. it's a lot of tool for the price. The travel is mostly smooth.

I read the reviews on this and kinda excited the worst, I could see it was completely fixable. Got mine took it all apart and really nothing was wrong I polished it up a bit put a shim on 1 of the bearings and adjusted everything as tightly as possible set it up. Works really well only tried couple small things. I do wish it was a little bigger.
