Sorry I didn't see this post til now, otherwise I would have responded immediately. I own two of these and Travis has one. We love them. I can tell you that I have stopped looking for a lining machine. These things line like a sharpie. Literally, any size grouping with ease. The give system works great, very versatile.
Two gripes: the tube vise is not the best design. And secondly, these are noisier end of the spectrum. Not as loud as a coil, but louder than a mini-Cranker (which I consider to be middle of the road in terms of noise).
thanks man and dam lining like that sounds good. not to fond of noisey machines though.lol
I have one and Love it. Its worth the extra cash for the upgraded motor. A bit noisey but they also have a new slide that may have reduced that.
I reduced the noise and made it run at lower voltages by following his recommendations and lubing it a bit more.
for those who have problem with vice clamp not holding tubes that well, just file off color down to the metal. BAM!!! Holds like a champ!!!!
what was Eds recommendationsQuote:

Just traded for one, I cant wait to use it
Honestly can't remember what exactly. Just used the lube that came with it and made sure to use more lube on the slider. I like my machines runnign slow and found it best for packing and lining. Wish there was a 12v motorQuote:

Remember it was a Faulhaber for like $75 if Im not mistaken. But the model and size I cant remember..
yea 6volt motors suck-
I'm getting one of these in a about a week. The upgraded one. Any recommendations for a seminar rotary user?
I would suggest the 7 + volt motor - gives you a bit more wiggle room.
Seminar... Damn auto correct. I meant to say semi new
the 7 v motors are not too expensive from Nedz and I like it. If anyone wants a back up 6v motor for their nedz let me know
