well I got it all together and going from a mini lathe to a full size lathe is unbelieveable,,I just had to try it out,,lol,,I found a small scrap of maple wood and turned a little box and I just could not believe how easy it was,,i just have to get a few more spindle adapters to go from 1x8 to the spindle size that is on this lathe,,cant remember at this moment,,but I know the spindle size is larger,,so far im very pleased,,,thank you all for your input,,i would put a picture of it on here but I don't know how,,,,,
