I've watched a lot of vids on you tube of people who own one these lathes,mostly the same lathe branded under a different name.
I know they're only intended or aimed at the modeller but what I have not seen is the owners using these lathes with mild steel,does this mean these lathes are not up to scratch with this material? the motor in them is small but it looks powerful enough and apart from some plastic gears on the drive shaft and spindle I can only summize that this is the drawback on the lathe?.
