Smaller one. What would be a good older quality American brand, and how
much should I pay? I'd say 3' long max. Steve |

Steve I want one too, but sadly I want one 20 feet long that will quickly and accurately brake material upto 3/16. Of course I also want to be able to afford it. LOL. Good luck on your search Steve. Let us know what you get. |

Actually I can't think of a bad older American brand. If you find one check it carefully for damage, people seriously overload them. I've used larger industrial models of the imports which weren't too bad. The 3-in-1 machines are difficult and fussy but they do work. jsw |

Gunner "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766 |

Actually I can't think of a bad older American brand. Also DiAcro. They made 24" and 36" finger brakes, and I have one of the 24" size. I am quite happy with it. If you find one check it carefully for damage, people seriously overload them. Certainly so. I've used larger industrial models of the imports which weren't too bad. The 3-in-1 machines are difficult and fussy but they do work. And they do break too -- if you get too close to their maximum thickness.
