Cute little thing. What's the top end of the spindle speed range on it?

And like stevec says...how do you change the feed rates and/or thread lead? It kind of looks like you have a single lead screw there rather than separate feed rod and lead screw, so does that lead screw have a keyway in it like the older South Bend and other "hobby shop" lathes do?
