This was my first woodturning lathe; I used this to turn the drones, stock and blowpipe parts for my Irish Uilleann Pipes. It is currently useless, as over time I've lost the spur-center and faceplate, which are 1/2-20 threaded and proprietary to this machine. It is not a particularly well made or accurate lathe, and I had to work around it's shortcomings to produce good work.
