I used this machine for a few years then ended up selling it when I bought got a good deal on a Rockwell RC-33 that outperformed it. I found it to be a bit snipe prone but the brass bearings for the feed rollers were very worn out on my Barton so I can't say how one would perform in better condition. Someday maybe I'll pick up another one to find out.
