Specs
This little guy looks cute and all but it is a real metalworking tool and it must be treated as such. It will probably have a hard time killing you, but it can hurt you in many of the same ways its larger siblings can. check out http://www.taigtools.com/mlathe.html where there are also lists of all kind of fun accessories.
Please note that this lathe does not have its own power switch which is why I lent it attached to its own power bar (Lazy). Please keep them together as one could inadvertently turn the rather spunky motor by plugging it in directly to the wall.
Last: Only engage pulley grooves that are in line with each other or else you will wear the belt right out in no time. When done, release the tension by picking both smallest pulleys so it does not stretch
