We were fortunate to get this lathe donated to us (used)
It is compact but not too small, it worked great for all of our shafts this year.
That lathe is a piece of junk. You can make good parts with it but it is not a heavy duty machine. I would hate to pay $2k+ for it. We have one in our trailer and while it may have started out ok for small work and light cuts it is absolutely terrible now.
