I just got the regular catalogue from Axminster through the letterbox and they've just added this lathe to their line up of chinese imports. Looks impressive for the Money - a shade under £300. inc delivery and tax. Has digital readouts on the X/Y axis too. It says it's portable (almost) at 37 kilo's but looks like it has enough cast iron to be usefull too.
