Tammy and Bubbo...

I'd say that while the KA roller/cutter is an excellent deal
the extrusion attachment is pretty useless. The rollers are
metal while the extrusion unit is just plastic. The dough backs up
and jams the motor quite badly. Takes forever to get anything
made and it has to cause excessive wear and tear on that motor.

and that's with a 525 watt unit.

I can't imagine what it would be like on one of the lower
powered units. Ugh.

Tammy, if you want I'll take a look around for mine and
send them to you. Maybe you'll have better luck than me.
