what brand cmc
This forum has changed from a specific manufacturers group topic to cover all cmc makes. This is a logical response to cover the broad spectrum of machines owned by framers. So a question - what machine do you own? Would be interesting to see the range of machine types out there.
Mine is a Valiani matpro 120

Re: what brand cmc
We are now (as of yesterday) the proud owners of Merlin's old Valiani MatPro CMC-ix 120, and we are loving our new toy.
Huge thanks to Merlin and Mrs Merlin for their support, help and guidance.
(We also have a Valiani Mat-Pro 150 Pneumatic with circle/oval cutter attachments that we are keeping for jumbo mounts etc because you can never have too many Valiani's in the workshop!)
