Default micro lathe

More on the _no name_ micro lathe:

The name of the lathe is Micro Lathe,(!) no other clues as to maker.

Continuously variable speed, 100-2000 rpm.

Feedscrew located out of sight under the bed.

Feedscrew clutch located on the main panel with all other controls.

Gears for 10 threads, 5 Imperial, 5 Metric.

Some parts very robust, ie 3 jaw chuck massive for size of lathe,
the bed is impressive relative to lathe size, the 1/2" taper shank
key chuck is no nonsense size.
The speed control is effective, good torque at low rpm, and very
responsive.

Some other parts mickey mouse, feedscrew calibrations are on
stick on labels, screwcutting gears are nylon, some other parts
sub-standard.

I paid about 450 for mine.
