advice for machine purchase

[ckyr]

Hi!
I am interested in buying my first stringing machine.
I am a recreational player and I would only use it once every couple of months.
I have been looking for some drop-weight, low cost solutions under $200 with 2 mounting points.
I have heard that 2 mounting points are not enough to keep the racquet steady during stringing and may destroy the frame. Is it true? I would not like to destroy my or my friend's $200 racquet by trying to string it.
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Christos

can someone say if the frame can be damaged when stringing with cheap machines?
I would not like to brake an expensive frame...
Thanks again.

if you do things right - it will be alright.
you dont have much options at that price point.
