Does anyone know anything about "rolling thunder" slab rollers from Axner?
They look equivalent to my new bailey but half the price?

I've searched the archives to research my slab roller purchase and
I'm still torn.
I've narrowed it down to the Bailey DRDII 24" (with gear reduction)
or the Northstar Super 24". So if anyone has any experience with
those models, I could use your input.
Differences that I can see:
-Northstar's rollers are in the middle of the table, the Bailey's is
on the end.
-Northstar has a two-knob adjustment, the Bailey has a one-knob
adjustment.
-Northstar can move in both directions, the Bailey only one.
From the reviews I've been able to dig up so far, the Bailey is more
likely to make a slab in one pass. But maybe the Northstar Super is
also capable of that? Any experience there?
If you have the Bailey DRDII, do you ever wish that you could move
the rollers in the opposite direction?
If you have the Northstar, is having the rollers in the middle of
the table leaving you enough room to work on your slab? Or have you
needed to put an extension on your table? Tilers, how long are the
slabs that you like to work with?
If you have the Northstar, does the two-knob adjustment get on your
nerves?
Thanks for your input!!! :)

When responding about slab rollers could people please include the models so
we make sure apples are compared to apples? Most of the posts in the
archive about slab rollers only mention brand and not model, and the model
is most important!
Thanks
