That's a neat looking machine. How big (small?) is it?

to be honest...I don't know! LOL!  I just ordered it and hasn't been rec'd as of yet...but according to the MicroMark site, "only takes up 16"x7"x10.5" benchtop space".  I have the perfect tool stand to mount it to.

I have been on the fence for over a year on spending the money on it but a friend of mine swears by it as it works equally as well for plastic as it does metal.  So when MicroMark offered it in their Memorial Day sale at roughly $58 off, I pulled the trigger!

Once I get it and get a chance to play with it, I will post a review in the Tips and Tricks section.

Not exactly model related, but since I will probably be doing any building on the dining table for the next few weeks following my surgery, I thought it would come in quite handy. I can put tools and supplies in the drawers and use the top area as a smaller work area when necessary. It is 12X6X6. Got it at Lowes for $19.98 - $17.98 with military discount.

I bought one of the Harbor Freight mini tool boxes for my airbrushes, I liked it so much I bought one for my work desk to keep pens, sticky notes etc in and another for the table beside my chair in the living room.

I got that same unit as a retirement gift. I have used it a lot…mostly for light guage metal. I really appreciate having it.🙂 If you do any work with brass sheet you will find it especially useful.

Edit: One thing I don’t like is the lack of a full width fence on the right side of the shear bed. I put a square against the blade and scribed a line on the bed flush with the little block they give you. I often scribe a line on the metal and eyeball the cut, so I removed the spring loaded hold down bar for better visibility.
