I bought this to replace my trusty HF 1x30 and have been extremely impressed. Vevor has hit the sweet spot for hobbyists who can't justify a 900-2000 dollar machine. This provides most of the features of those big machines in a small, easily moveable package. I built a simple wooden stand for mine so I can carry it outside quickly. Setup is a breeze, everything is VERY high quality, and the adjustable speeds are a game changer. Metal or wood, knives, small parts, or decorative pieces, this little booger does it all. Treat yourself or your hobbyist and you absolutely won't be disappointed.
