    Decent little machine

    I've had this for over a month now and have been using it quite a lot. I'm happy I bought this, and I do not regret purchasing it.

    Pros
    - Intuitive to use
    - Performs well
    - Convient size
    - Great support from 'The Toolshed'

    Cons
    - It comes with a 'dead centre'; a 'live centre' is really needed though.
    - The bolts holding the tailstock on are only 6mm long; you need to upgrade these to 15mm to 20mm to avoid stripping it out.
    - One of the bolts holding the gears in place fell off when I first run it, please check everything is tight before running.

    It was missing the gears for cutting imperial threads, but they sent these out to me; the product support was really good.

    Great

    Great little machine. Fits perfectly on a bench. Good for making small and medium parts. Comes with tons of features and an all metal gearing. Overall, and thanks to the team at Hamilton central, Great experience so far. Worth every penny.

    Fantastic.
    really pleased with the purchase.
    I am a model maker and this machine is just right for making small parts.
    Cheers. Mike.
