No, but it looks tempting.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, I will be in Springfield MO this weekend.


And I do have $150.00 in XMas money left to spend.........

I'll drop by and take a look at it up close and personal and report back on the construction even if I don't buy one.

Steve,
It is on the back cover of the 2008 catalog and it looks very similar to a tormek.
