I'm just wondering what it actually includes...

It is the basic lathe with the standard accessories.

You supply your own motor.

Twas wondering about that, Thanks Jim:2tsup:

Do you have to figure out your own way of changing speeds or what?

It also comes with a stepped pulley setup to fit your motor, so you'll have six speeds that you change manually, if you scroll down to the specifacitions list and standard accesories list you'll see that its all there.

From my point of view, not a bad deal. It gets you into the game at a good price.
If I did not have 2.5 lathes already I would be interested :U

Hmm, half a lathe could do an interesting job of half a bowl ;-}

I think theVL 100 is a great little lathe, but therein lies the problem- it's a little lathe.
