I'm considering buying an Axminster AP406WL Pro. Any thoughts please?

I currently have an Axminster AC370WL but would like to upgrade. I like the spec of AP406WL but I would appreciate any feedback before I take the plunge. I'm based in Oxfordshire. Ta in advance.

Have you considered a secondhand say Union Graduate lathe? I’ve just sold mine for about the money of the new Axi with a full set of tools, Chuck centres, sanding table, face plates etc. I’ve restored a number of them, great machines, built to last generations, easy to work on, and they are very heavy built out of cast iron which is great for when your turning.

Thanks Denmark. I'll have a look at this as well.
