this is advertised on Rocklers website and I am asking you turners if this is a good starter lathe http://www.rockler.com/excelsior-mini-lathe-with-3-piece-rockler-carbide-pen-turning-tool-set, yes tools are pen_bottle stopper tools, which I like, it can turn up to a 10" bowl, which is fine....for now, 17 3/4" spindles, 5 speed not verible speed (sp) but seems all the basic at a great price, is this worth it and is it a good lathe? I have been looking for one for a while now and seems to be a good one at a affordable price to get into turning, PLEASE FEED BACK as TLOMF has gave me permission to get it and need advise before purchase, don't want to buy badly slippery slope, here I come
