Thank you, path49. I'm going to have to play with that machine soon.
And in answer to manicmike, Model 15 clones piece nicely, in my experience. Not quite as well as the Featherweight for precision or the 301 in general, but certainly acceptably. In fact, a well-maintained clone is as pleasurable and trouble-free as the 301, in my experience. The 301 is gear driven and has more power. The 301 is a consistent joy to use (one of mine is named JoyBoy) and my Model 15 clones are not far behind. I will be using mine again as soon as I free up some table space.
