At the bottom, it has, "Through chuck capacity: 5/8" ". Is that the same as
"through hole in the headstock" that you mentioned? Would that make it
unable to use some size of solid rod, or would it just make it less
convenient or use more rod?? I am not 100% sure what that means to me.


That's advertised in their retail store for $369.99.
They emailed me a 20% Off coupon.
That makes it $296
That is very tempting.
