My old one has seen better days for sure so i got this for when that one dies. well i tested this one and Love it. smooth clean lines the measurements are actually correct unliek my old one that was off slightly. I do alot of grapgic work and cutting things to bleed so this will do the job nicely. Its body is actual metal unlike my last all plastic one. it has a smooth rail that the cutter runs on and is light weight. I def can reccomend this for the hobbiest. If anything changes ill update this post. Till than have a great day.
