The Vevor 7x14 lathe I bought has no parts list and does not always match what is on other mini lathes. The quality of the parts has not always been the best. The keyway in the shaft for the "A" timing gear is not centered and does not allow the gear to go on without a lot of force. I need to prey it off with a screwdriver which takes a lot of one side/other side reps. The plastic timing gear are VERY tight on the shafts. The timing belt has 90 teeth rather then the standard 70. If I knew all of this before I bought it I would have passed on it. Has anyone else had any problems?

That is a on going problem with parts list.
This may help . I got it from someone else that got it from Vevor with lot of trouble.?

Dave?

I am same boat if tooling or part it is hunt surprising I can find all tooling and parts i need.?

I would not be surprised the Vevor did just copy that page and hope the guy did not notice the difference.

The manual I received with was at less last 10 page was cut off.?

They shipped mine with a 84 tooth gear they did replace with correct 80 tooth gear

This is the manual and parts list for the UK Warco WM180 which is from the same stable and may help.

Thank you. This does look like my lathe. The part that I have the problem with is Number 17. It is like the ones LMS has but the 2 keyways in mine are 4mm and theirs have 3mm keyways. The only place I have found for some of my parts is Amadeal which can be a gamble since there are several differences.

I should have said THIS is the list that looks like mine.

Those keyways are different between SIEG and Real Bull lathes.

Check with Grizzly - their 7x14 is a Real Bull.? ?And their 7x12 is a SIEG.

I had the same experience with my Vevor 7x14- I was surprised that the gears hadn't cracked; it was a real struggle to get them off. I reamed all the plastic change gears so they went on securely, but without a lot of force. It's not that the 90T timing belt isn't standard - the 70T belts are for lathes that have a Hi-Lo transmission in the headstock. Those 90T belts are easily available on AliExpress. Change gears are easy to buy, or you can 3D print them or have somebody local 3D print them for you. I use 3D printed PLA gears and they work fine.

You buy new steel gears.
Plastic is not best for a lathes.
The 90T belt can be found on Amazon and Ebay.??
Vevor is just retailer you are on your own for replacement parts.?
Every part can be found on the internet including the bedways.

You are correct, their 7x14 does have many of the parts that are on the Vevor 7x14. The part I need is one of them. For now I made a key that offset 0.032" (0.8mm) between the top and bottom halves which seems to work just fine.

Go to Aliexpress and search for CJ0618.
