Brad - We got the machine from jim at jimbodetools.com. He's a reputable, fair and trustworthy dealer.



Tim - There is very little flex now that we fixed the locking screw that keeps the base from sliding on it's track. It wasn't holding it still, so the neat feature of the back and forth adjustability was causing a bit of trouble until we sorted that out. My favorite feature on this machine is not the sliding base -- I really like the retraction mechanism -- very simple and durable and easy to engage/disengage. That's comparing it to our Boss machine which requires more physical motions to operate.
