My Woodtek lathe has arrived and is set up which only took a few minutes. Considering no one seems to have heard of it I was a bit apprehensive about the purchase. But reviews about other Woodtek tools were very good so I assumed that the lathe was good also. It is a mini (8") rather than a midi but it has all the features of all other non VS lathes. The colors match my John Deer hat so that is a plus. My other lathe had a M1 spindle and tailstock, this has a M2. The runout at the spindle is less than five tenths and the runout at the end of the mandrel is about .002". The headstock and tailstock centers match dead on so I am well pleased with the specs. Started making chips on it this evening and it's a breeze.
