There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update: didn't realize I've had this machine for six years. Still going strong and I have had zero issues with it.
This was a great purchase. I'd highly recommend
Con: quality could be higher. Base needs to be more beefier. No power switch, so the RPM readout is always on. The travel for the RPM wheel is way too long, you need to turn like a thousand turns from 250 to 3000. the laser on the left side is hazy,doesn't focus right. the table lock is terrible, only lock at 0 degree position,
Pro: variable speed, 6 inch quill travel. Looks cool. Light is bright
