Startrite are generally OK and I used one myself for many years but if you can manage the extra cost of a Hammer then they are a more accurate machine. It depends on how much work you intend to do.

Hi
I have a Robland 310 which is same I believe as the Startrite (same company) and I've been quite happy with it.
A good solid machine, 3 blades and enough capacity and power for what I need, (hobby use).

Cheers

Bob
