A Very Good Value
2 of 2 found this helpful There's a lot to like about this machine. Power is adequate, the column is pretty rigid, and having a DRO is a nice touch. The Shop Fox is very compact, but heavy enough to feel substantial. After cleaning off the grease protectant, and doing some minor assembly, it was ready to go. I had a minor adjustment to do on the X and Y cranks, when they started to feel tight and somewhat bound. There's a nylock nut on the opposite ends as the cranks under a cap that needed to be backed-off very slightly. Make no mistake, you wont't be hogging deep cuts in steel here, but there's enough here to do all sorts of machining/drilling operations in non-ferrous materials, and lighter work in steel. As always, go slow, take light cuts and you should be fine. It may not impress your snobbish buddy with the spendy micro mill, but it is an exceptional value for a real tool.

It Does Exactly What It Says It Does
Of the several brands of wrinkle finish hi temp paint I've tried, the PJ1 stuff works best. It reliably wrinkles and makes for a durable/attractive finish that is resistant to chemicals. ***You need to follow the instructions (*including the extra instructions for wrinkle finish) to get the desired effect. If you do and of course do good pre-paint prep, this stuff is the bomb.

Seems Silly To Review Such A Simple and Inexpensive Product BUT...
1 of 1 found this helpful There's both good and bad here. First the bad.
I saw where another review mentioned the clear portion of the body of this came loose often, but figured that was an anomaly since many others didn't mention this. This happened immediately as soon as I used it for the first time, and it is more than just "a bother". Second, the "holder" device only has little molded-in points that are not very effective, and working with a long Idaho potato were almost useless. So I unwisely opted for holding the potato by hand, and when the clear part loosened and came up, the potato went sideways and my finger got one of those cuts you just know without looking was going to be a real bleeder. Both the base and the holder are really poorly designed, and it's hard to believe that any testing at all wouldn't have shown this.
The good news:
This thing is razor sharp and cutting anything (*including fingers) is all but effortless. It's also compact and easy to clean and store, as well as around half the price of other designs.
My finger will be bleeding for another day or so, and people really need to be careful with this mandoline. So careful that half of the "efficiency" of being able to cut so easily is offset by the poor design. Eliminating the clear part of the body and including a better holder, like one with metal points like so many others have, would have made for a MUCH better and safer product. Oxo really dropped the ball here, but the product was delivered quickly and for a good price.
