Instead of 'sweet-talk', meaningless pap, and the typical 'it's all good' bull-**** others will salve you with, I'll give it to your straight, without varnish.
Clarity is a virtue. The real world is indeed black/white; yes/no; true/false; and right/wrong. There is no maybe. There is no try. There are no multiple solutions to a specific problem.
Absolutes are never achieved but should be strived for. Anything else is the road to chaos (hello, 2023).
That thing is a kids toy. Learn from it what you can, and when you're ready, spring for a big-boy toy.

Play with it, and if you find that a lathe is useful to your work, go out and buy a real one.
Hi David,
Your take on the below photo of a Lathe?
My wife (bless her heart) purchased this 6 in 1 tool systems as a gift, and it just so happens to have this lathe as one of the tools! It says it will do wood, and light metals such as alum. copper and some brass! It's only a 12-volt unit. I do have a speed control that I could wire into it to get a little more performance. Is there any hope for this or is it just a toy?
Thanks for your input!
