It starts to chatter at about 600 RPM, but at 300-400 works nice for such a cheap thing.
The use of a shop made Fixture Plate and some shop made clamps might of held your base more securely for machining. I use mine a lot.

Hi Jim - as requested, here is the tooling plate I had made a couple years ago. This is a bottom view, showing the center button that fits the center hole of the rotary table. There are two rows where it will fit, so I can center the plate or offset it for long parts like con-rods that I want to work on the end of.
