Sounds like you purchased and old stock lathe. Got a pic of it and what it actually is?

ya, it says it's a stock motor lathe, but it also good for modified motors

Honestly, I'd list it back on Ebay and buy a mod lathe. Removing the brush hood to true your mod motor is nuts. If you're gonna use it, invest in a hood alignment tool also, you'll need it.
