This lathe is my first and I didn't know exactly what size I would want for hobby work. This one meets the bill and has plenty of room. It has exceeded my expectation of a foreign made machine. The smoothness and accuracy of component movement is great. I am really impressed with the accessories that come with this lathe. The very low price will get you a lathe that is ready to go to work straight out of the box. I did even before I had completely unpacked it.
The lathe had taken taken a real beating in shipping. Both of the bolts that secured it to the bottom of the box had broken off. The lathe was undamaged aside from a slight bend in the backsplash. I am totally satisafied with this purchase.

This is my second lathe. I am told that all of the small Chinese lathes are basically the same. I picked the Cummins because (1) I could pick it up locally and (2) it come with a bunch of extras (like rests, a jacobs-style drill chuck, face plate, etc., it is big enough to do some jobs I enjoy. The machine is no Leblond, but hey, its a pretty accurate and very capable little machine that turns beautiful finishes and has plenty of support backup through Little Machine Shop. If you want to try your hand at a bit of machining but do not have room or money for a bigger machine, you might consider this lathe.
