Yeah, I was pretty disappointed, I was getting excited for it.
At least woodcraft support is great, and I they actually ship it from their warehouse and not direct ship from Nova like Rockler. That means there's no restocking fee, though she was going to double check that for me when she sends the return label on Monday.
Now I want a new lathe, but they're too dang expensive since these bigger machines don't show up on the used market around me very often 🫤
