Not so good,
Several problems:
Spindle was recessed within headstock (should protrude) so that you can thread on jaws. Had to find a washer with i.d. big enough to fit over spindle but o.d. small enough to fit within headstock and yet thick enough to protrude outside of headstock to allow jaws to tighten against spindle.
The variable speed head doesn’t work very well. Had to have an entire headstock mailed to me. It was inoperable as well. Ended up banging the origiinal free. Operates marginally well.
Wouldn’t recommend this product.

Not bad for the money,
I’ve had this for two months. Operates okay. Several small things like the recessed spindle head and noise are annoying but workable. The tool rest holder does not come out from the bed anywhere near the capacity of the lathe. The belt is already fraying, probably due to the variable speed pulleys. All in all, for my first lathe, it is a good value. I see a Delta or Jet inverter type in the future as my skills improve, but they are almost 3X the cost. Stay away from the Grizzly accessories. The scrow chuck wobbled very badly and even the faceplate that came with it has runout.
