Thank you. One of the potential problems with these machines is that they are often fitted with a soft graphite coating on the platten. This can cause rounding over on steel parts like tools. It's easily peeled off the platten though so I replaced it with some 1/8" mild steel sheet.

Are they any good on metal.
Thanks

I have one of those !  In my opinion they are rubbish and not worth buying.  The motor on mine is supposed to be 300W but the slightest pressure and it stops the motor.  Also all the rollers are made from plastic.  Save your brass and make one that will do what you want it to.
