I have a friend who looked at one at a local Woodcraft, and said it seems to be a really nice lathe. A lathe review in the latest issue of Fine Woodworking expressed concerns about the small size of the spindle on this lathe. Yes, it's threaded 1-1/4" 8tpi, but they said the spindle was only 1" inside the headstock. Not sure what to make of it. I just bought a Jet 1642, which is pretty similar to the GI you're looking at. I'm very pleased with it. Not sure if this answers your question.
