I was just finding out about the various incarnations of 7x10 chinese imported lathes.

It seems to be the same lathe but in 10 different disguises!
What has the experience of using your Chester Conquest lathe been like? Did you have to spend a while fettling with a dial gauge to get it to run true, how is it for backlash, replacing cheap chinese made socket head screws, use of plastic gears in the headstock etc?
Atleast with those lathes there should be plenty of choice where to buy accessories for it, Axminster, Machine Mart etc.
