Not long after I purchased my little red lathe, I started to wonder whether I had just invested in a shiny red boat anchor. The tailstock design is incredibly poor, and its almost unusable for any sort of precise operation - I say almost, because there are a few things you can do to squeeze some surprisingly good quality work out of it.
Cheers,
Chris.
