anyone with experience of the "CD lathe"

I've read of this a couple of times over the last two years and wondered if anyone has had any direct experience with it.
The operating principle seems sound, but the price, though probably justified, makes me hesitate.
Here's a thread discussing it on the Zerogain forum:

I have had one for three years. I used it on all cds and sacds that I could find the time to cut. I found that blackening the outer edge also helped. Presently I copy all redbook onto black cdrs using the RealityCheck burner and have found that black cdrs seem to gain no benefit from having the AudioDeck trimming.

If you buy a used one that has been heavily used, you may need to buy a new cutting head.

Amfibius, I think cd rot is an urban myth despite the webpage you list. I have several cds bought in England before they were available in the US. No evidence of any problem in any cd of the 4000 I have. There are also statements on some cds saying to not use liquid cleaners. I have always ignored them and never had any problem.
