Hi all, I'm new and wondering if this is a legitimate beginners cabbing machine or if I should look elsewhere? Thanks in advance!!

Yeah, the all-u-need is certainly legit, as far as entry level flat-lap style cabbing machines go. Personally I prefer the vertical wheel style (genie, cabking, what have you) but the flat lap style has some advantages and some people do prefer it. I got my cabking used for not much more than that but it was a pretty rare deal.

Thanks Stephen! How much do those usually run? I like this one because it's an all-in-one for like $499. That said, I can see how vertical wheels would be more advantageous...
