Does anyone have any information on the Smithy Lathe-Mill-Drill
metalworking machine imported by the Overland Company?

The machine is a small-to-medium sized combination lathe-mill
manufactured in China.  I've seen it advertised so far in Popular
Mechanics and Radio Control Modeler.

I ordered the demonstration video which seemed to portray the
machine as being too good to be true.  The power feed model
sells for $1395.


 - Any comments or information on this machine would be
   greatly appreciated.
