in short YES!
This is an excellent quality lathe for the money with a solid cast iron bed and all levers easy to reach.
The on off button is in a good position and the variable speed control works well, I have used mine using both HSS and Carbide tipped tools and it works fine, although the motor is a little small it still manages to work.
Although not shown in the manual there are some screw holds in the base of the bed and with a bit of measurement you can line these up with the holes and screw it down which is what I have done, this gives the lathe a lot more stability and makes you feel like you are not going to push it over when roughing.
Its heavy and the model I purchased came with the small 2 inch chuck which is very nice although I will be coming back to get the other chucks as well for general work rather than using centres I would prefer to use tenons.
what I dont know is if the bed is extendable, there are options for the other lathes and I need to see whether you could extend it.
all in all a perfect little wood lathe which is strong, good quality, built out of the box and ready to go. Im very pleased with mine and primarily be using it to do pen work and lace bobbin work .
If you budget allows get the next model up that gives you a bigger distance between centres, I have not regretted my purchase and am very happy.
You can easily put on a revolutions counter using a small kit off ebay. Uses a Hall sensor and is very accurate.
