Great machine, I'm an experienced carpenter of 20 years and have owned this lathe for a few years now and is an excellent machine does exactly what it's supposed to, great lathe for beginners and hobbyists ! Obviously not meant to run 40 hrs a week like for a business, although it would last for awhile but something more heavy duty would be needed!

decent machine just lacking power

My husband loved his new wood lathe. He set it up an made something right off with no problems. He's very happy with the results and all of the new things he can craft with it!UPDATE 3/3/22Unfortunately my husband did not have the opportunity to use this much. Maybe 5/6 times over 2 & 1/2 yrs and the metal cracked. He knows what he is doing he put it together properly and used it as instructed. He went out to work on a project one day and found it cracked. To say he is disappointed is an understatement. This is a very expensive item it was a special gift as usually we can not afford items like this. It is why he was so careful with it, then so disappointed that when he finally had time to work with it he found it broken. He is afraid to use it now as it can snap while he is using it and at that rate of speed he could be seriously hurt.

This says it has an MT1 spindle, but after spending $160 on a 4 jaw chuck to go with my new lathe, the machine arrives with a solid steel shaft. No chuck taper at all, let alone an MT1. Straight up cheap. Liars on top.
