I've got exactly the same model. They're limited in what they can do but mine has been indispensable. This afternoon I've just turned a 70mm hole out of a bit of 5mm plate for my throttle body. I couldn't have done without it.

£300 is an extrememly good price considering they are the same lathe from the same factory as the Machine Mart ones and they are retailing for £550 without the tooling you're offering.
