Its cast-iron build, MT2 taper and five pulley-selected speeds make it a useful reference model for buyers comparing inexpensive entry machines with heavier mini lathes. A spare mandrel for this lathe must have the correct taper or spindle mounting, and a kit-specific bushing set is still separate.
Who this equipment suits
A dedicated pen-turning setup when rigidity and MT2 accessories matter.
