Seems there are a lot of different stickers that get stuck on this machine.

I wrote a short piece on the one I purchased used, which I found to have considerable wobble when I got it.  I still have it and it continues to work great after my little fix.

As Sparky said, it definitely does seem to get re-badged a lot. Looks identical to the one I bought from Aldi here in OZ with the exception of the belt size being on a transfer and easy to see. Plus the Aldi one has the Velcro disk. It works well and does what I need plus it does not take up too much workshop real estate.

Yes I realised that it was stick on (shame as I have a few Velcro discs the right size.
Belt is ok. Joint is flat. Not sure how long it will last but at least its replaceable.
Very quiet in operation which surprised me.
I imagine that they all come from the same Chinese factory and just have a different badge on them.
So far so good.

Replacement backing disks are available, I couldn't find 150mm ones, but larger ones can be cut down. Another alternative is to buy the velcro and cut out your disks. There is an advantage to the glued disks, in that they run more true than the velcro ones.

+1 for Wheel tapper's comments.... I have the same from MM, my observations precisely, the main annoyance to me is the bumpy scarf joint. need to have a look at the platen under the belt as the sheet metal plate is not 'flat'. There are other methods of replacing / modifying the platen all over the place but, as said, it does what I want it to.
