SIEG C2A
"Suprisingly solid for a small hobby type lathe. Much better value than other importers versions of the same lathe. Straightforward to clean and set up. Reasonably accurate. Caveats and annoyances? Some cosmetic damage upon receipt despite good packaging, probably a factory issue. Note that the DRO indicates the amount of turn applied to the compound feed screws and not the actual tool position, due to backlash. Tools prone to chatter, take light cuts. Note that lathe comes without thread dial indicator, you need to buy this separately. What really bugs me? Axminster like other UK importers don't supply a carriage stop or a carriage lock as an accessory, you have to make your own or buy from America, which means that repetitive turning to a shoulder is a pain."
