Wanted to own a benchtop lathe since the day I started turning small OD4mm parts worth $0.1 each onto a 2200KG lathe sucking up 30AMPS from the wall at 3500RPM :/
Found one yesterday advertised locally and went to see it today. All flat surfaces looking brand new, comes with 1000W spindle brushless motor (I think), 100mm chuck adaptor, two small steppers, M3 bob, and a few quick-change tools. Nice kit.

You guessed my question: can those cut okay on let's say AL6061?
The owner tells me there is no problem at all, but refused to give me a demo before a cash deposit (for some strange reason I didn't understood nor asked lol), insisting he wanted to keep it clean for another potential buyer, so I'd like to hear about others who perhaps have the same model.

Reasonably good benchtop lathe to have? Precision (he told me 0.01mm), does that make sense?

Thanks
