Had nearly three absolutely trouble free years from mine. Worked it fairly hard for an amateur workshop. Wrote a review of it for MEW a while back. Bigger versions available if you get more ambitious and have the space. Easy to take apart for moving or maintenance. Great machine; solid, rigid, accurate. Got a Weiss lathe too. As you can see I'm a bit of a fan of Weiss machines.
