It's brand new via Amazon. The problem is the spindle is warped or off centre. I have taken a video on the iPhone to show whats happening. I am holding an allen key just touching the shaft at a couple of points with the lathe running at it's slowest speed. An experienced opinion would be appreciated. I have contacted Amazon who are trying to find a UK contact.
