The $600 Mini Lathe - 4 Years later

G'day everyone,

It's been over 4 years since I bought the mini lathe. Personally, I didn't expect to have it this long or use it as much as I have. I have had a great time using it and I have made some great projects. Not just as a hobby, but projects to get me through university and a side job. And that is not including the many videos I have posted to this channel, of which I am very proud of.

Still though I get asked whether it is worth  buying one. I made a review 2 years ago, but I have learned so much more about this lathe since then, and my opinions have shifted slightly. So as my final video, I thought it would be worth looking back on this lathe and see if they are still worth buying.
