Is Eagnes a good company? I'm planning on buying a machine that has no mount at all. Is that considered a disadvantage? I'm also no familiar with the fancy terminology of stringing machines so I'm going to leave the discription and you guys can tell me if its good or not, or if its missing anything essential.

I'm planning on buying a machine that has no mount at all.

What does that mean?
Would you tell us the model number?
Eagnas has a bad reputation, but lately I've seen a lot of good things about them. Keep on searching on these forums, under the Stringing Machines section, and you'll see a lot of info about them as well.
And good luck with your stringing!

Wrong forum dude. "No mount at all"? Are you talking about a *stand*? A mounting system would prove to be very helpful in the stringing process ;-) Anyway, you'll get better response in the correct forum.

I have the Flex 840. Have done so far over 20 string jobs and am pretty happy with it.

I have a 20e, 200-300 strings jobs. Works great. I have no issues. Just get better floating clamps.

A lot of my friends and myself have Eagnas machines. They are priced low and work fine for our purposes. Look for models that are on sale, usually around $500 for floor standing models. The new machines seem to come with good clamps that mine didn't have when I bought 9 years ago. They are like a two person distributorship in the U.S., so service may be slow if you are not in the Los Angeles area.
