Runout is quite simple to correct to a reasonable tolerance on their lathe if needed. Will you get down to a good machinists lathe, probably not, but it is quite easy to get down under .001 by trueing up the jaws. They cut like butter.
My Mid America has been a fantastic lathe for what it was designed for.
