Turn it off and then talk bright guy.

I have had one of these little lathes since 2002. They work fine for small stuff. Sure a bigger lathe is better but try to find a decent one for under $500. Lear to set it up properly and it will cut very close tolerances.

Good video.... shame all I can hear is the whoring of your lathe!!!!!!!

I have one of these lathes. The only problem was the bulk of the top slide's digital readout. With the tool close to the head one can't get the spanner in to tighten the the tail stock nut. My friend designed an "over centre" lever device which works well.
I once had a Colchester Master Junior, 6 feet long, made in 1941. As accurate as when it was made. I paid £30 for it in a tender sale but had to get it home. Two of us managed it. Don't ask how! I sold it for £400 30 years later.

@torqueman6 I purchased a 12x36 Atlas lathe for 400.00 a few years ago. I had to build a pulley and jack shaft system for speed changes and buy a chuck and tool post but it is a much better machine than a mini lathe.

good but the speech is inaudible. you could try a lapel mike next time.

If you click on the arrow twice, two videos run at almost the same time, but 3 or 4 seconds apart and you cannot hear. I clicked on it once and I can hear most of it. I do have a lapel mike, but my camera won't take an external mike.
