Good training lathe for a novice.

Hi guys this lathe doesn't match all the requirements that I posted in another thread. However with the exception of the spindle bore size it seems to match every thing else on my wish list, including an imperial lead screw a wide choice of TPI and a nice quick change gearbox. I think I could do 80% of the things I have in mind with it, and rely on friends for the rest or at least till they tire of me using their stuff or I upgrade.

Does anyone have this lathe what are the pros and cons, is it well made?



Would it be a good lathe for a novice to greatly improve his skills on before upgrading!
