Needle Felting Machine for Quick Felting, Electric Felting Needle Machine Kit with Speed Control, Needle Felting Tool for Wool Painting and Felted Animals, Pink

2nd UPDATE...A new felter was gifted to me. This time there are instructions. I use WD40 oil in the channel the needle goes through. Now there is no friction or getting stuck and the needle glides easily. I re-oil often. Also, the instructions say to not adjust the speed past the mid point on the dial. This keeps it from going to fast and burning up the motor. I wish the instructions were with the first tool, but thankful now. This machine is great. BTW Use safety glasses. The needle flew off on me. I think I was going to fast or on an angle. The safety glasses did their job.1st uPDATE...on my second day, after using it for hours, the casing that the needle is housed/ moves through, might have melted from the friction. The needle wouldn't glide, it was stuck. I tried several needles from different sources. It's not the needle, but the machine. So disappointed. I have returned it. ORIGINAL REVIEW...It is light weight and the adjustable speed makes felting fast. Today I used it for hours non-stop. This has saved my hands and makes felting nonstressful on my hands. Thank you to the designer/engineer for creating this terrific machine.

The media could not be loaded. I've used one of these machines from the same brand for several years and was mostly satisfied with it, up until a few months ago where the power port on the bottom started to loosen and fall out. I secured it with electrical tape, which worked for awhile, but eventually after much fiddling and attempted fixes I had to order another one, hoping it would last as long as the last. It did not. Same issue with the power port, except this one started causing problems the moment I turned it on, wiggling loose and causing the cord to fall out. I would have returned it but I really needed it for a show, so I figured out if you tug the white cap on the end out far enough to squeeze some super glue on it and then press it back into the handle and secure with some electrical tape, it *mostly* works. I was okay with that issue from my old machine, since it ran so well for so long, but if it's starting to happen with brand new, out of the box machines, this is an issue the company really needs to work on. I would happily continue using machines from this company if the issue is addressed, but otherwise I'll have to search for other ways to make this hobby more accessible.*Edit*:Checked right after writing this and now it just doesn't work at all, even after being glued. So yeah, not super happy.

The thing to remember with this machine is to not use it at full speed. It has more than enough power at half speed to do anything you need to do and then some. I oiled it as recommended and it doesn't over heat or show any signs of slowing down. I'll do more needle felting now because this little machine substantially takes the strain out of my hands and arms and increases productivity.

It was fairly simple to get set up and use. It worked great for the first few projects. I didn't break needles and was very happy with it. I kept the machine in the middle of the sweet spot, as per recommendation, and upon the 4th or 5th use, with unplugging between uses, it stopped working. I checked for anything stopping it from moving, adjusted tension, and got a fresh needle. No luck, the engine was whirring inside, but no movement on the outside. It has great potential, but this missed thr mark.

Pretty cool needle felting tool. Off brand from China, , came with unclear and very brief instructions. Kinda hard to hold, heavy ish. only does fine work, not initial building of a piece- doesn't bind more loose wool, but sort of neat to try to use it for fine detail work. Had to look up other new users videos to see how it works, not even sure if they were correct. Ok product.

So glad I bought this. Makes needle felting so much faster and reduces the fatique and soreness in my hands. Highly recommend this tool.

Algunas de las cajas adquiridas venian sin la goma de repuesto de la maquina, donde la puedo conseguir?

Once I got it working is a great machine, get some sewing machine oil at same time you get this if you keep it well oiled it works great. I check it every 15 min to make sure it is not getting over heated.The one draw back is it took my husband and myself to set it up. The instructions are very poor. They need someone who is better at English and step by step pictures. Actually was going to return the first one ordered because could not get it together so got it all ready to return and said I wanted to reorder it because thought the first one had a screw missing . The new one had the same problem but suddenly we got it to work, had not mailed the first one back so kept them both.
