Pros & Cons
Pros
The wheel slides easy, the set screw locks it in place well. The thumb screw is a little small for easy use but maybe this was intentional. I wish the blades were sharper/thinner.
Cons
The brass face fits very loose on the shaft so when knurled adjustment is tighten the shaft face wobbles. The knob's threading is so badly formed that the knob wriggles in the handle. All of the cutters are rusty and drilled off center, so they aren't... Read More
The markings on the rod, although fairly accurate relative to the cutter wheel, are barely legible. The metric markings have a spurious extra mark at roughly 0.
Highlights
Quality

Received it and heard a worrisome jingling sound when i shook the box.
Competitiveness

An easy fix for someone with the means to clean the surfaces and apply a more sophisticated adhesive but broken on delivery is not appreciated
