I didn't buy it new and it had been dropped before I got it. I traded for a 6" Craftsman lathe I refurbished so I can't really complain, but, I really should have purchased one of the used machines that were on the market at the time. I would have been dollars ahead but cash was limited at the time.
Construction is basic Chinese industrial, sturdy but strange choice of chuck mounting. I haven't owned any other large Chinese machines so I can't really compare but I have had some disappointing experiences with their parts and accessories wing (toolots).
There's basically no parts support for my machine and even if their website says something is available it might not be, also took way too long to get a refund from something they never shipped.
Yes, the prices are attractive but with such a major purchase I'd want a supplier with a proven record of support. Pretty much Precision Matthews and Grizzly, or one of the more industry focused companies.
