I have been very curious about the following starter kit for my King Canada Mini-Lathe:
Starter Kit, Mini Lathe, 5/16" Tool Bits
https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1261&category=2122081964
My lathe is a 7”x12”, and model # KC-0712ML. That of course, is short for King Canada 7”x12” Metal Lathe.

While the tailstock is a 2MT, I am a bit cautious before the purchase, due to the fact this brand is not listed under the compatibility chart on the LittleMachineShop.com site.
Furthermore, the following makes me more weary:
Maybe I am over-thinking things, but I would like some clarification on this before ordering (if possible). Perhaps there are not many owners of Kings out there yet, so I can understand if the compatibility is not 100% known yet.
P.S. I have been told my King is very similar (though with some modifications), to the Grizzly G8688 .

Furthermore, the following makes me more weary:
“The 2 Morse taper is the correct length for the lathes listed below. Don't buy this product for other lathes as it won't eject from the tailstock when you retract the quill.
If you want this product for a Grizzly G0765 7x14 lathe, put a note on your order: "For a G0765. Need a standard length drill chuck arbor." We will substitute the correct arbor.”
