    I couldn't do without mine. I purchased the little counter top 4
    inch Reycast one like Rio carries from Swest after a demo on a
    couple of pieces. It paid for itself in time savings in a couple
    months and then I later picked up one of Swest's 10 inch house brand
    ones. That really works well for when I have a lot of small pieces
    to do, but the main reason I got it was to finish my larger pieces.
    One thing you need to watch out for is leaving your bowels on the
    machine all the time. It will magnitize the pins and cut the
    effectiveness down.
