That is the lathe that I have used for almost 2 years. Has worked real well for me. Have done everthing from 9 1/2 inch pikies to 1 1/4 inch pikies. Cedar to birch. Picked up a duplicator from Penn State to go with it last year. Also got a chuck from Sears for drilling the thru-wire hole. I have not used any other lathes, so I cannot give you a comparison. Probably done 500-600 plugs on it with no problems.
