Have had the 9x20 Enco and it was a mistake, later gave it away to a charity. Then went to a 1950s Logon lathe, much better and later found a 12x36 Enco. The bgger lathes from the China millwork place are best described as a lot less of a dissapointment than the smaller ones.

Regardless of the machine there is something to be said about the users ability also. To make a precise cut the work needs to be measured accurately. This involves more money spent on measuring tools and the knowledge in how to use them. Too often I see non tradesman being critical of machines that could provide the level of quality a hobbyist needs , when in fact the deficiency lies in the users skills.
Simply put a users not knowing how to measure or having the tools or skills should not be reviewing such equipment.
Second unless they have had experience or knowledge in the field of machining or measuring their opinion should be questioned.
