The motor on the machine last about three months with little use the cutter will not cut sch. 40 4" pipe like they claim as the ridged will the jaws on the chuck are poor quality they broke after about 4 Hours use if you replace the working parts with ridged parts it will work
I had concerns about the unit because it is CHina made, but we tapped 1" SST no problem, there is lots of power with this unit and it works just like a ridgid.
