Excellent when used within its capabilities
The maximum one can put in the existing 3-jaw chuck is 15mm or 1.5" in diameter. The instructions are terrible. To move the tailstock, loosen the bottom two screws by the tailstock and the allen screw in the channel under the tailstock. You CAN get tools for it. The same guy that sold this one sells them. It works but do not try to turn steel. Stick to wood, copper,aluminium and plastic. The tailstock probably takes an M15 chuck. The tongue gets a bit wobbly if it's extended more than an inch. The tool that arrived with mine looked burnt and it was missing a T nut and bolt. None of those are big issues. This is a good product for home robotics. I recommend pairing this with the milling machine.

Mac’s overkill
Needs to be stronger does what I need good.

only one speed
can't vary the speed.

Not good
Horrible the brass piece would not center and the chuck didn’t have enough strength to hold the work piece.

Very handy mini lathe.
Very content with this item. Made some minor adjustments for rigidity, added a speed control unit, and now it’s turning time. Need to find a nut and a couple of collets for small drill bits, in place of the center hold piece. Does anyone know where to find these parts? Thank you.

Good for small modelling...not more.
Low power. Chuck is hard to operate. Limited clearances and tolerances. For a cheap lathe for really small items its OK, but if you can afford it, go bigger and better.

I wanted to like it
I figured this would be good for some small tasks, but it isn't really up to any of them.I started out trying to make some aluminum spacers. No matter how much I crank on the jaws, my material loosens up.There is no parting tool, so I made my own. That worked out ok, but the depth of cuts it can take on aluminum is sooo small that it's not worth my time.This $150 lathe tool had me spend 4 hours trying to make 2 spacers that a harbor freight mini lathe could have knocked out in 15 minutes.

for it's size it's great.
it's small and has little power consuption, it's not gonna cut steel, but i've tried aluminum and brass without issue, and if you're just trying to see if machining is for you it's great, even for simple things like wooden chess pieces. If you're a serious machinist then it's a great toy as i use it. Don't expect it to run like a larger lathe and you'll be happy. expect results from it as though it's something it isn't and you'll disappoint yourself quickly. it's not my G&L 570t but it's fun!
