Clean it up during and after usage. Its previous home was in a high school wood shop. It works well but there is a lot of weight riding it. The readout is magnetic and sits just below the hand wheel. These are just my experiences, nothing more.

Well, it is really quite the marvel. Time will tell if it will stand up to everyday use. Changing the sandpaper strips is easy. Anyway, bottom line is no regrets with this machine. 1/8 turn just to take up the slack before moving the drum.
