I have this lathe. It's a good value for the money. I also paid $1,599 including the stand. The store managers have the ability to offer lower prices. When I asked for a discount off the retail I was offered the $1,599 price.
That is a nice look> I have this lathe. It's a good value for the money. [...]
The manual shows 60 rpm min. speed, the URL says 50; which one is it? You say "a good value for the money"; does it have any obvious problems? What tooling came with it?

Ditto on the 60. Faceplate, two chucks, extra set of jaws, steady and follow rests, two dead centers, one live center, drill chuck and arbor, extra set change gears, adjustable wrench, set allen keys, world's cheapest screwdriver, tool box, sleeve for spindle to dead center ( I think that's what it is), T and L chuck keys. I probably forgot something. Oh, and a manual... in actual English! But it's not the best written, refers to multiple levers as "feed" lever. :-)

I was at HF on Interstate avenue in Portland Oregon today. I couldn't belive the price and they said they had one left still in the crate.
