HF mini lathe redux

Well, I forget where I left the other thread so here's a little review after a little use.

It's a solid machine with plenty accoutrements. I still need to try the faceplates on my old Sears monotube but I think they can be made to fit which is a real plus. It spins up, it keeps spinning and after a little adjusting of belt tension, it spins even better. For small parts, it is enough... barely. It is (opinion, here) underpowered but once I honed new edges on my tools, not so much. I'm not sure I'd suggest it to anyone but I won't be taking it back.

Ed,

Thanks for the review. I think I'll try the next one up if it goes on sale.

There are also 20% HF coupons in a couple of woodworking magazines recently. I've left one in my car for the next time I go by one of their brick and mortars.
