I think it looks ok but I'm sure you can find something better.

$159.40 for a lathe kit is extremely reasonable, once you accept the tiny dimensions and consequent limitations of such a device.

Oh I only saw the 300. Ok in that case, sure, not a bad deal.

So... you'll think about it?

You'd still be making it yourself, but from proper parts :D

I'll consider it too, that should suffice for my purposes, but a Sherline mill will still be bought.

But $160 is stupendously good.

Yup. Shame about the short bed, surely there's a longer version out there.

Edit: what a shot!

I love this time of year. You can slam your laptop shut when your girlfriend walks into the room and you don't get any disgusted looks.

The 159 does not include some key parts, and none include a tailstock. Would it be easy to manufactor one.
That is all.

Isn't it a metal lathe? You don't need a tailstock.

Or turn long objects.

Or to make your lathe look complete.

But if I want a tailstock, thank god for regional dealers.
