I have one of the original "Nick the Grinder". Its a cheapo, but works if you know how to make it work. The down side to the lesser grade machines is possible flex in the frame or play in the hinge of the motor. I compensate by always using a slight amount of pressure to the side. The better the machine, the more "precision" it should be. Also, the better machines have a more user friendly adjustment for the chain. I do think this is one item that "you get what you pay for".
