Checked it out ... intriguing. Quality???

Don't know. I've got the old Nova Comet midi-lathe with a gap bed and it
was/is certainly solid. But the motor mount was so poor I made my own and
the headstock pulley has recently developed a habit of coming loose. I think
I fixed that with a little Loctite - time will tell. I'm still pretty happy
with the lathe, though a swiveling head would be nice.
