Title: Replacing it after 4 years
Product review: I bought this lathe in 2007 and use it for mostly pens and small items. I have never turned anything as large as a table leg on it. By the beginning of 2011 the bearings were completly shot. I can do small faceplate work but if I use the tailstock, the bearing noise is deafening and I can't get enough accuracy to even turn pens. The steel is really soft in the tapers and galls easily. At least I can smooth it out with sanding cloth.I replaced this lathe with a Nova DVR XP.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
