Kind of an INSULT to discerning "hobbyists" actually.
There's the real issue.
South Benders, by contrast KNOW they have a too-light lathe and constantly demonstrate the ability to work AROUND its limitations with skill and dedication to turn-out some astonishingly good work. That has proven to be instructive and interesting as well as preserving of the craft and many basic skills.
Which can then "scale up" to industrial-grade working.
Much as was the very "plan", years ago when veritable legions of light lathes went into trade schools and JR HS / HS shops.

My P-38 was made by Walther and was not razor sharp, but it still looked like new and had the holster and extra mag. I guess some GI got tired of his souvenir. I got it at a flea market in 1967 or so. It could put a hole through a bean can, but it was not a practical way to open a can if you wanted to eat the contents.
