So far it works pretty good. I had to adjust the gibs a little and it kinda feels a little under powered compared to what I expected but it will cleanly take 3/32 from cold roll A513 while power feeding. Cross feed runs smooth and I used the threading attachment and turned out something rough but still cut threads fairly well. For the money I feel I will get sufficient use out of it. I am by no means doing production work on it and it doesn't take up as much shop space as I had feared either... so thats an additional plus as my garage is cluttered and small.
