I was in the market for a bigger lathe than my little 6 x 12 Atlas. Its a great little lathe and I was able to put it in my basement so was/ is a good idea for those cold winter days when I want to play.
However after using it a few times the limitations were obvious...being a newbie I of course had to start somewhere and it was so darn cute I couldn't help myself. It was also a good learning experience in rebuilding an old machine that gave me the confidence to take on the Heavy 10 basket...
