I teach in a high school and bought 3 of them. Not happy with them at

Derek,

I recently bought a Shimpo and chose the RK-10 Super over the equivalent
Master because the Master uses a one-piece splash pan that sits above
the wheel head. The two-ice splash pan of the Basic and Super sits
almost level with the wheel head.
