First off, I don't own one of these, I have just shopped for one, so
this is just my impression of it.

c.. Speeds: 600, 750, 910, 1080, 1260, 1460, 1680, 1910, 2150, and 2400
RPM

To me, this always seemed a very fast "slow" speed for use with a 3/4
hp, 12" swing lathe. I mean, a 9 1/2" diameter chunk, say, 12" long
on my Jet mini, whirling around at 500 rpm is going faster than I
really like, but I deal with it. To put an even larger piece on a
lathe at 600 rpm seems a bit much, IMO. But I've seen some offshore
lathes with the "slow" speed at over 1000 rpm, so 600 doesn't seem so
bad, comparatively.

does any one have any feedback on this unit and did I make a mistake?

Sorry, I have no actual experience with this lather to offer, just my
2-denarius'-worth on the speed settings.
