  1. For setting spots it works very well, we have one in our shop and use it everyday. How ever we also use a Heritage foot press that is easier as it has more room underneath to get the work under it..

  8. For the most part the machine runs pretty well but it is a learning curve to set it up to run correctly. If you have the manual read it over and over. I need to put new belt,s on my machine as they slip when I put some old stiff harness through it but it does split evenly.. The stones need to be adjusted correctly to sharpen the blade correctly..
  9. Where are you located ? We have a Fortuna splitter as well and I can send you information on it if you like.. email Larryxd@gmail.com

  13. We set a lot of spots and I have never seen a machine that will set spots that close to each other.
