The lathe is a MT1. Keep that in mind for accessories.
It's the mini lathe...65345
If not for the taper, I would consider one. It's like the Jet in green and plastic covers for the pulley's.
I looked at the HF website listing with the reference to MT1 and note that the manual does not mention what the headstock taper is only the tail stock as being MT2.
MT1 headstock taper is not correct for Item 65345.
Today I carried a MT2 center and a 1x8 nut to Harbor Freight to confirm a few things in my mind. The MT2 center fit perfectly as did the 1x8 nut.
I also found out that Harbor Freight will not allow the coupon for $169.99 and a 20% coupon on the same item. It is one or the other so a 20% coupon would give a better deal at $159.99.
I am trying to pick up one of these for a special purpose so I am going to wait for a published sale price and use a 20% coupon. Hope to get it for around $145 and can wait them out
Anyway the headstock taper is MT2 for that lathe.
