Poor finish and screen print alignment

I don't write many reviews, but I take my time so other buyers don't repeat my mistake. The machining (aluminum parts) is poor at best. 1) The depth gauge (used to determine the height of the screw holes) is not at a 90 degree angle to the corresponding foot, there is a 1/16 inch gap when checked with an angle. This results in one of the screw holes not being square to the other screw (my handles require two screws to attach to the door/drawers. This 1/16" gap resulted in a 1/8" hole difference 2) The drill guide bushings are soft metal and all drill bits are much harder steel which resulted in the holes in the drill bushing becoming egg shaped and therefore the two holes did not line up. 3) The screen printed center mark on the drill sleeve was not in the center of the sleeve. I do a lot of woodwork and housework, I've bought several aluminum woodworking machines over the years and this is just NOT something I would buy again, spend a little more money and get better quality.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Some difficulties
