Tailstock can’t be centered from factory

Title says it all. While the value might seem great, the entire thing is sloppily and shoddily put together. Even after tearing down the tailstock and fixing an extremely loose screw used to center it, this is the closest I’ve been able to get the tailstock centered. If you’re looking for something to precision lathe work on, look elsewhere. If all you care about are doing tapers, then I guess this is the lathe for you.

Cons
  • The price point may be too high for those on a tight budget looking for a basic metal lathe
