[QUOTE="rough2cut, post: 244092, member: 3816"] I have a GF4 reasonably new and its a little sluggish but if you have seen how I cut and polish then that's understandable. I have a student who has a facetron and I like the machine but it has a few drawbacks. Its a very high base and has a very under powered motor and seems to run a bit hot. I tell the owner it great from the platen up. Its also imported so It comes with an exchange rate attached. Service on a machine imported is only for motors or minor stuf or you will need to send it back to the States. The GF5 would be the best local choice if you can afford it and wait a little while to get one. Most machines have a lead time which can be a few months. [/QUOTE]
