This is ok for hobby steam etc Daniel, but its not in any shape way or form in the class of what you're used to using.

Well Jim, what I'm used to using is actually too big, unwieldy and awkward to use on small, light gauge pieces of soft metals. May I ask what make that unit is, and what gauge of which metals will each function reasonably handle. Mind you, not what the advertisements claim, but what you can actually feed it and expect reasonable results? Perhaps also advise me of the width capacity of each function if different, or all the same?

I think I've seen them from Micro-Mark and also from Grizzly, but there are likely others, most probably made in the same factory.

TIA Mate
