Works just fine. Came with a faulty controller board, the seller sent a replacement right away.To someone who has worked as a turner in a former life (some 35+ years ago) on a C10 (a large lathe)this one feels surprisingly steady for its size.Does not have the gear to switch speeds as the manual which comes with it claims, it has just a beltdriving directly the spindle. The motor is powerful enough though and the controller does OK regulatingat low speeds, too so I am fine with that.The fixed steady is not exactly for this lathe, its center is far from the lathe center. Still usableat up to say 15mm diameter I think (I wanted to use it with 35mm, no chance). Did not try/check thetraveling steady.After a few days of use I can say overall it is quite useful - if you know your way around lathesand their usual imperfections.
