The lathe might be okay by itself but I see little value in all of the accessories. I would rather have dedicated areas with dedicated machines in those areas so that I would not be constantly changing back and forth. I find that I sometimes have a son or brother in my shop working at the same time as I am. Designated areas turning and finishing, cutting and drilling, sanding and sharpening make the most sense for me. I would recommend you get the best machine for whatever specific job you want it to do. I use a Oneway 1224 lathe. It has performed flawlessly for me. I have gone through one inexpensive harbor freight lathe, one midrange Delta lathe, and two high end Jet lathes. I finally bought the Oneway and it has never let me down. Just my opinion, good luck with your choice.
