Well made.
Well designed, made from quality components. Works well.As noted in other comments, it does not do well making concabe features in the ends of stock. It does fine with concave on the side of stock.

Convex OK, concave not so much.
The description says this can be used to turn convex or concave. Works fine for convex but it is impossible to make concave curves at the end of a piece of stock because the cutting tip protrudes the tool holder by only a few thou. so after one or two passes the tool holder hits the work being cut. This is probably a limitation only if one is trying to make a concave indentation on the end of a piece of stock. Should be OK for making curved relief or concave cuts along the side of the stock. I made a new tool post to accept 1/4" lathe bits which can be extended beyond the tool holder to get around this problem.

Excellant product
Best design I've seen and tried. Only one drawback, there's no adjustment for up/down so you need to shim the tool platform to get it lined up with your lathe centerline.

Nicely made. No way to fit my Berber 12 x 7 mini lathe
Couldn’t use. Couldn’t fit.

Doesn't come with cutter inserts
Product seems nice, smooth action after degreasing. Product didn't ship with cutters, so looks like you're on your own trying to figure out what insert it takes.
