I know these are wood lathes but has anyone tried to turn aluminum on these mini lathes? Do you think it is doable?

After looking at all of these and getting some PM input from some noteable plugmakers I ended up getting the Delta mini. (mainly because I have a few other delta tools and know I can get parts for them if needed.)
