Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great with a little more

First off it's solid, with engraved aluminum arms, brass and stainless steel hardware, instructions are helpful. As another reviewer pointed out, it tends to get sloppy, reducing accuracy. However, I took a simpler approach to make it work better: I went to Lowes and bought some 8-32 and 6-32 brass knurled nuts, some #6 and 8 nylon washers, some longer stainless steel 6's -32 plus several #8 screws. Brass washers. Placing the nylon washers between the aluminum rods reduced friction, so I fitted brass washers on either side, with an extra nut to secure the screws tight enough for accuracy, but still moveable while maintaining a parallel architecture (reduced the twisting). now easier to use accurately. Basically, the joints should be tight enough to eliminate sloppiness, but still loose enough to move. I think the additional cost is about $5, more or less, enjoy! You need to drill holes in the center for the #6 bolts, the original ones were #4-40, they are hard to find so modifications are needed, still a great machine.
