    Yes.
    The lathe is as expected for price. Basic but seems to work OK.
    Accuracy I can not state as have not tried to be accurate yet.

    The mill is a good drill. flexes a little bit as a mill.

    The big problem is the drill does not come all the way down to the little vice.
    Needs a higher vice. About $60.

    Cost a heap more for some good tools.
