That is the lathe I have. Mine is older though and has a 1/3 HP motor. It works great. I have turned maple, birch, poplar, red cedar and now alaskan yellow cedar. The only drawback That I find is the headstock center is not aggressive enough. The tool rest is on the small side too. When doing a large plug you have to move the rest back and forth to finish the lure, unless the lure is only 4" long. Can't go wrong for the price though.
