I'm craftsmen and had already ordered a cheaper version. But without hesitation returned again. Just inferior and dangerous to do so. Especially hobby enthusiasts should not deal daily with tools to remains clamped when editing it leave a clamped workpiece. I can only recommend this product. This is a very good entry-level model with a tendency to professional quality. Spindle runs easily. Guides as well. Jaws are parallel and clamp securely.
