Basically the same lathe as sold by Harbor Freight, Grizzly, and others.
I think that most of the lathes of that appearance are made in the same factory in China.
I have one that I purchased from Princess Auto in Canada. . King (in Canada) sells the same lathe also, as does Busy Bee Tools.
I think you will find they are all made by a company named Sieg.
I have been using mine for about 7 years quite steadily without problems as long as you don't expect accuracy of better than 0.001" or perhaps a little better. . I have never used it on steel though and I think steel would push it beyond its capability.
Keeping the ways well adjusted is a bit of a challenge.
