That is a nice looking machine but is lacking some of the rudimentary common stuff available for the same money like a gear change transmission for threading/feeding, looks like gear changing is the only way to adjusts feed speeds.

The other thing I noticed that I am not in favor of is that the spindle speed changers would require a somewhat long & cumbersome linkage to the actual gearing in the spindle gear box...would much prefer a direct hook-up to shifting forks that controls at the top of the gearbox can accommodate.
