Tabletop Creaser Suggestions?

[CreoleCuisine]

Trying to convince my boss to spend a little money on a small tabletop creasing machine. My budget is $500.
Nothing that price comes with a good review but some just need a little patience to adjust.
So far I like this one, its the only one I've found in my budget with speed control option.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Hi,
To be honoust my experience with such machines aka chinese machine will break you confidence in yourself.
These machines are not good at accuracy, so you will often doubt yourself. A better choice is a manual machine (if you don't have one yet). Otherwise, save a lot up up and spend it on a duplo document cutter.

I actually bought one of those to have in our shop as a backup machine in case our Duplo 618 machine went down and we needed to process an order with creasing and/or perforations.

For all practical purposes it's useless. It skews the paper badly when feeding (this is because while the front end has guides the back end doesn't). The wheels wobble badly during rotation and will tend to rip through cardstock/paper instead of scoring/perforating evenly and straight. A manual scoring board is actually faster than this product, which, is saying a lot.

Similar machine to what @PricelineNegotiator posted: https://www.mybinding.com/james-burn-procrease-m2-1-manual-creasing-machine.html

With price showing it's $225. You need to make sure you're getting a 'creasing' machine, not a 'scoring' machine. You need a 'male' blade going into a 'female' channel. Don't get a scoring machine that uses a wheel.

The precision you get out of these machines is insane.
