i love it azz, i've not veryfied it's accuracy to any great degree, but it churns out "utility" stuff quite happily. i doubt that it's especially accurate but it seems to be free from any excessive vibration. it cost me little and even less to run. however, i am biased. the machine and i were "born" same year, same town.
i actually set this up with some special tooling to turn hardwood for various contraptions, the rest of the time it helps me keep all my other old machines running.
i've found a slow leak from the main gear box, seems to be where the on/off spindle passes through the sump of said gearbox and out the back. apparently for no good reason.
i've had it for four of five years.

the leaks are engineered to match the weather. that's precision. thanks for the heads up azz.
