Members fivesixthree Posted March 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted March 4, 2011 I got the demo at Sheridan and then had some time to sit and play with it. The quality and design are up to usual Luberto "built like a tank" standard. Finish is good, no shortcuts were evident. I have only one problem with it. The motive power is a crank on the side of the machine (where a traditional balance wheel would be). I just have a problem with cranking that thing and feeding the work. That's not saying I wouldn't get used to it after a while, it cranks away from you unlike most balance wheels, which is a good thing. I have no problems working my No.9 with the wheel on the front, but the crank on the side might take some time to appreciate? It is a little more fluid than the Boss, and I would have a hard time deciding between the Cub and a Cast Iron (original) Boss. With the prices the way they are today, You should seriously consider a powered short arm 441 clone, unless portability is a factor.
