Has anyone got some experience with it? Any comments on the specs? I suspect
someone will recognize it as an equivalent of a similar piece of Chinese
machinery sold in the USA under a different name (a game I have been playing
with mini-lathes recently :-)


The variable speed usually indicates it's a Sieg mill.

I've seen cheaper prices. But there is shipping, etc. to consider.


With the Loonie at 0.79 it could be a better price than it looks at first.
