Nice price. I wonder what the quality is like?

I don't know much about lathes. When it says 4" x 5", does that mean it can handle a piece that size? Wood, metal, or both?

Crap...

I learned a valuable lesson a long time ago... a poor man can't afford cheap tools.

I'll do a review when it arrives. I'm sure its cheap but hopefully outshines turning down stock on a drill press turn horizontally.
