You can’t get a better value for your money with this lathe. For a long time, I’ve used it to make many things. I can easily get down to 0.001, and I can even get down to a few tenths if I need to. I’ve made a few small changes to it, but nothing major and mostly for my own tastes and how easy it is to use. Happy: I’m glad I bought it.
