Rikon 70 150 midi lathe
It was well packaged and easy to assemble the couple parts needed to be put on. The variable speed reaction to changes is slow, but not bothersome. It turns wonderfully and has ample power. I really like the movable switch I've enjoyed this lathe and am going to add to the tailstock, it needs to be longer.
