I bought a PEATOL/TAIG because i need a small lathe (despite i have a 7x20 lathe) i can operate in my house. I have known about it from the conspicuous fans all over the world.

I received it from Peter of Peatol (UK) on August, and now i'm showing it once assembled the base, the motor and it's fully functional. The motor was blue so i repainted to black.
I assembled also the motor mount from aluminium with primitives dovetails. My version of lathe come with powerfeed already installed and a sturdy block of aluminium for raise the entire lathe.
This is my start package:
| 1015 | Micro lathe with power feed |
| 1030 | Four jaw chuck, with reversible, heat-treated steel jaws |
| 1092 | 1/16"-3/8" Jacobs chuck |
| 1150 | Drilling tailstock - lever operated |
| 1151 | Needle bearing centre - spring loaded |
| 1160 | Spare belt |
| 1161 | 6 step pulley set (2 pulleys) including Vee belt for 11mm motor shaft |
| 1095 | 6 piece tool bit set - HSS, left & right, round nose, boring bar, cutoff, 45 degree chamfer |
| 1200 | Compound top slide - mounts on cross-slide for cutting angles and tapers - with toolpost |
| 1002 | New electric motor - 11mm shaft |
| ? | Drill chuck arbour - attaches Jacobs chucks to headstock spindle |
| 1173 | T-bar cutoff tool, height adjustable |
Peter form Peatol said me this is a very comprehensive set of components to give a working lathe, and i must admit he was right.
For the base i used a wood block from a ikea countertop (very hard), a drip pan upside down and a wooden frame to finish the base. To lock the lathe and the motor's dovetail to the wood base i used brass barrels in the bottom plane.
A review: this lathe is beautiful, sturdy, small, precise, simple to assemble and use. A must for every workshop. This is only a start because there are a lot of implementations you can do to this little lathe.

| The pulley system, note the rubber band |
 |
| The toolpost, simple and effective |
 |
| To enable the power feed you simply lock the handywheel |
 |
| I think i will replace the spring with a coupler |
 |
| The Taig headstock |
 |
| My home made motor mount with dovetails |
 |
| The depth stop |
I bought also two IGaging Scales (IGaging site), a 6" and a 12" which i've cut to size and mounted on X and Y axes. I've planned to convert the DRO to Yuriy's Touch Dro (Yuriy's Toys Dro) using a tablet and a TI launchpad.

| With IGaging in this position you lose some x width with tool post installed.
