I fail to see how this contraption could replace a Checkering cradle? This set up is very well thought out for marketing and sales, “ Does it all” but really is nothing new. Take your 300 bucks and buy a Wilton, or at least a good start on one. If you really want one of these, wait a few months an they will be clogging the E-bay pages for a buy now of $15 OBO.
