SfanGoch Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 But, can it core a apple? 400 bucks is a lot of dough, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about a year, Walmart will have a Chinese-made knockoff for $39.95. And it'll work great for about six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTallDad Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Do a search on Burgess Vibro Tool. I have one that was my father's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Micro-Mark(up) is getting $400, you can probably find the same unit elsewhere for around half that. That's what I found with the vacuum forming machine (it's a dental lab unit) and the spray booth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My high school wood shop teacher, Mr. Romanowski, had one that he let us use in class. Nice tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 at harbor freight for another 150.00 can get a lathe, now I am not knocking the tool itself, I have seen one on instagram, would love to actually own one. I think in my own opinion of course is I do not see what makes it $400.00. its like a dremel with a blade. Probably will come down by half in the next year and a half.

BigTallDad Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The Burgess Vibro Tool is basically and engraving tool with a chuck; the chuck will hold round shanks and has slots to accommodate Xacto blades (or photo-etch saw blades). Mine has two speeds, and an adjustment for stroke-length. It works very well when cutting thick leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPNM Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 As mentioned, $400 seems a bit much. Watching the video didn't really show anything that would make me want to go out and spend that much for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's an oldie but it's also a goodie (if you find one in decent shape). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
