Had this a few weeks now and once you identify the few weaknesses and fix them its a nice micro lathe and works very well on soft metal like aluminum and silver. The chuck is fine once you balance it out holds the piece with slight run out but that is to be expected on a lathe in this class. Tail meets the head stock perfectly so passes this test. It may not be a precision lathe but its a great little lathe and at under £300.00 there is nothing to match this for quality and accuracy.

Packaging is fantastic. Delivery was very good. The seems to be well made and sturdy, unfortunately I haven't been able to try the lathe out as my hobbies room isn't yet complete hence the quality marking. Would be happy to compete this when it is up and running.

Absolutely brilliant little machine. Very capable machine for it’s size, I’ve used it to make parts in plastic, Aluminum, brass and mild steel. Ideal if space is limited due to its small size and weight.
