Got to agree with Walter, that is pretty gutless for a lathe even if it is only doing pens, especially when there are 2nd hand Axminster or Record lathes around that are so much more better and not for much more.
I know you're on a limited budget but buy cheap buy twice springs to mind and a really cheap & nasty lathe may not enhance your woodturning experience.
A brand new small Axminster AWSL lathe would only set you back £190

This is the same as I started on and it did pens no bother & was half decent.
