Decent enough for a first timer?

I REALLY want a lathe and this one is super cheap compared to others. Is it good for a total starter to turning? I’ll be using it almost exclusively for one-like projects. At least to start….

I don't know anything about it but everything I own that is from shop Fox has been no frills but functioned well. It's one of the brands I compare first.

Keep in mind that if you add a chuck, chuck in a blank, and add a Jacobs chuck to the tailstock, there might not be enough room to fit a drill bit. You might have to drill on a drill press, or maybe they sell an extension?

I have a drill press so I’m good there. Thanks for the input on the brand. I’m hoping the get back to me.
