"MINI MACH
A smaller version of the V MACH this little tool shares many of its qualities and is basically used in the same way. It measures 450 x 300mm on the actual gripping surface but there is no central channel to accommodate router cutters, saw blades etc. This tool is really more designed for the DIY buyer although for small routing work it is very nearly as useful as its bigger brother.

FIXING
This is not necessary. The table itself is designed to fit the bench top through suction and it is therefore essential to have it on a flat smooth surface. The instruction manual (again very clear) offers a suggestion for making a small mounting board which can be held in a vice. This manual however is nothing like so comprehensive as the one for the V MACH and first time buyers may be left to use their imaginations a little more.

POWER
In this case the machine is intended to be used with an ordinary domestic cylinder vacuum cleaner for which a rudimentary but very satisfactory adaptor is included. Obviously the more efficient the vacuum cleaner the more efficient the holding powers.

PORTABILITY
This is a very handy little table which can easily be carried about with its built-in handle and can be hung up out of the way when not in use.
CONCLUSIONS
The Mini Mach shares the quality of manufacture [of the V Mach] and for users routing small panels or working with hand tools which benefit from an area free from cramps this is both handy and inexpensive. On balance this is a good tool but all the better if your needs suit its specific strong points, and these are mainly in the realm of easy and trouble-free work using the router.
