What a great lathe a very good quality lathe for the price . Strong solid nice to use only negative is the week flimsy stand that becomes exceptabel only when bolted to the floor but we'll worth the money.
A very good and well made lathe, a very good price, it's termed as a hobby lathe, but in my opinion is more of an industrial type of machine.
Of good size and the capability to work on pieces of good sizes, which is limited on the bench top type of machine.
Axminster machinery are friendly and very helpful if there is anything you wish to know.
Highly recommended.
