Overall pretty good quality. Downside is that the parting blade holder will not work with a 1/2" tall blade on a Vevor 8x14 lathe. It will not go low enough to center the blade to the work. I assume it would be even worse on a 7" Vevor lathe.

I needed to add a longer stud to adapt it to my lathe, but after that it works great. I can now use my parting tool and actually works. As for the facing bits no more need to shim them up, you can set the height and lock it in.

Fitted to my Axminster SC2 no major issues and is by far better than the fixed post that came with the lathe. I now have the ability to use 10x10mm hss tool steel and still be on centre. The only small complaint is that the holder for the boring tools is too big for a small lathe and should be reduced to 6 or 8 mm but no bother I made a sleeve and the holder for thin parting hss is also too big for a mini lathe, again no bother just shimmed it. Overall a good investment.

Very happy with this. The one that came with my mini lathe was a piece of junk compared to this. The only issue that I have is that the holder for the cut off blade it difficult to tighten enough to keep the cut off blade from sliding backwhen pressureis on the blade. I think if I change the torx holding screw I may be able to tighten it better.

The machining on this is very good, as is the finish on the parts, and everything fits together nicely. It seems to more than strong enough for my needs. I used it to replace the original "lantern" style tool holder on my Atlas 6" lathe. I also bought a set of lathe tools with replaceable carbide cutters, which I'm using with this tool holder. I've been turning some steel today, and this has made changing tools almost effortless. You only have to set the center height once for each tool, and never mess with it again unless you remove a tool from the carrier it's in. I only have a couple of minor complaints. First, there was no documentation in the box explaining what the different parts were for, although that was easy enough to work out from the web site. Second, one of the tool carriers has a built-in knurling tool. There's still a slot for a cutter at the other end, but it only accommodates about half the length of a cutting tool as the slot stops halfway through the carrier to leave room for the knurling wheels. I'm not sure how much I'll use the knurling tool; I think I would rather have had another normal carrier and been able to mount a knurler in it if I wanted to. Also, as some others have pointed out, the set screws that hold the tools in the carriers are not very well made. It comes with a little TORX driver tool to loosen and tighten them, but some of them don't seem to have the TORX socket machined correctly, so you either can't get the tool into them, or you can, but then it just spins without engaging anything. It seems like an odd thing for a manufacturer to skimp on. Worst case, plan on replacing some of the set screws if you get defective ones. Overall, though, I think this was a worthwhile addition to my lathe setup.
