Even if you arn't going to CNC it's still a nice little lathe. We've got a couple of jet ones at school and they seem to be pretty nice little machines. Plus its half the cost of what we got. Let us know the low down on the machine, I'd like to get a small lathe in the next year or so.

I have that same machine. After some adjusting when I got it, it now runs nice. Mine is currently mounted to the bed of my bridgport and the spindle is hooked to the toolpost.POOF-- instant cnc lathe attachment.
