Looks like a nice casting to start a project from. I had rear nuts on the Hobbymat MD65, utter pain.
Other thing to think about collets and taper, I usually use cheap morse taper collets but that often gives problems for long stuff. The good side was selling off the junk parts I no longer wanted after using part of the MD65 lathe as my mill, a well known one has a market for the parts.
