This unit works pretty well but you should be aware the if you are
using .062 (regular thickness) copper clad material, you will need to
modify the unit. Its not hard unless one is mechanically challenged.
Here are the instructions:

read them thoroughly and then read them again. It can be a bit confusing.

I'm not sure at what thickness you don't have to modify but I do know
that the 0.031 material feeds ok through an unmod'd device. The
Electronic Goldmine is selling that stuff but they seem incapable of
actually shipping an order these days.
