Pasta machine from Cost Plus--is it a good one?

[Kevin M. Randall]

Does anyone have any experience with the pasta machines currently being sold
at Cost Plus World Market? They are being packaged under the "World Market"
name, and I can't find anything else on the box that might indicate who makes
the thing. There is a sticker that says "Made in China". I've just started
looking around for a pasta machine to starta polymer clay project.

Thanks.
Kevin

I vote for an Atlas too.

Mandy,

You're absolutely correct in recommending an Atlas. More specifically,
I'd recommend a Mercato Atlas, since I've found other PMs that want
sport the name Atlas, but they're not of the same high quality.

No name pasta machines (like those from Cost Plus) and any PMs made
from China have proven to be of poor quality. Another PM brand to
avoid is Al Dente.

The best price for a basic 150mm wide PM is at an online source:
