The problem with the Precision Pro is that the headstock spindle has a very fine thread that doesn't really lend itself to having a wood turning chuck fitted to it. Axminster tools could I'm sure make a chuck to fit it but I'm not sure how durable the whole thing would be.

It's a one trick pony of a lathe, albeit good at that one trick!
