The box was delivered from Czechia to Romania by DHL, it arrived on time and undamaged.
The only part that was damaged inside the box was the safety shield (cracked all over), but thats ok since I'm not planing on using it.
I did a couple of test cuts, works without any problems on brass, aluminium, steel. Light cuts and patience and the finish is exceeding my expectations.
As other reviews that I've seen on the web state, the machine does indeed need to be completely taken apart and cleaned thoroughly, every slide, every moving part, cleaned with wd-40 and/or IPA, re lubed with fresh oil.
The ways need a bit of lapping but thats an easy enough task.
I dont agree with people that criticize this type of lathe, in my honest opinion this mini lathe is for the novice machinist,
or like me the absolute beginner (first time using and type of lathe), for people that want to start learning how to machine things
this is a perfect stating point.
Also, for the price, this comes with alot of accessories, thumbs up.
