The lathe was better than my first expectations. I had read that other people had had a few problems with these types of lathes. This lathe however did not come with those problems, it was tuned very well.
Only thing I would suggest is, that you should cover the carriage gearbox with a some kind of a plate, if you are turning something that creates a lot of chips, otherwise the gears might gum up.
By the way, if your lathe doesn't turn on at first, check that you first set the direction, then press the green button, and then add speed. The manual did not mention of pressing the green button, so it threw me off at first.
Nice lathe overall!
