Toolpost Spindle from Banggood for the CJ0618 Mini Lathe

I need a toolpost spindle for the CJ0618 mini lathe for a couple of upcoming projects. Let's see if this one might work. Banggood sent it to me for free, to keep, but this assessment is my honest opinion. If you are interested in a spindle like this, check out this link. Using this link will help support my video making activities, and convince Banggood it was worth sending me the spindle:

I recently bought a new Chinese CJ0618 7x12 Mini Lathe, very similar to the classic Sieg C2 lathe which is sold under different names all over the world. I have a few plans for this lathe, but the main reason for buying it was to finally answer all the questions I get asking whether the Proxxon PD 250/e is worth the money, or if a Chinese lathe is a better deal.

In this video I work out whether this spindle is worth fitting to the lathe as a tool post spindle, and whether it's worth buying.
