This machine works fine for those beginners in polymer clay.
I am using my machine with polymer clay. It works well to thin the clay. If I had known more about using pasta machines I would have purchased one with 7 thickness settings instead of the 5 on this machine. I also would have shopped for a machine that would accommodate wider slabs of clay. But this machine works fine for my beginning attempts at clay work. All in all, this is a great machine for me.
