Thanks for that Peter I felt that total showed a lot of interest, few members and unknown viewers to the total. I will just look down the page a see how many named members checked in today. I make it around 90 members on line in the last 24 hrs.

That's a good price Johnny, It looks almost the same as my Charnwood W821 (£319) apart from the tool rest which is round steel bar on mine, I think they are all made in the same factory in china with different colour's & different labels stuck on for each dealer. But i have to agree with your findings regarding usage & performance & certainly makes a very good low cost start for someone wanting to start woodturning

Nice review. If you suffer any vibration in turning larger stuff you can always use one of these to temporary pull the lathe down onto the bench.

Takes me back to the eighties when we used to pour concrete bases for our lathes, huge platters and bowls were all the go using our huge burls.
