Hey Everyone!
Looking to buy a small lathe for my workshop to make bits for my Landy project.
Anyone know if this is a good buy?

if it was me i would go for something a little more modern. theres a lot of work shop lathes that are better than that one. not only that if it breaks you might find you cant get the spares.
