Profiforma 200

I’m wondering if anyone owns/has used a Profiform 200? Pros/Cons?
Steve Midgett recommends it for shearing the metal for making mokume
gane billets. Besides shearing, how useful is it a brake with
regards to jewelry making? It is a pretty spendy item, so I’d
appreciate other’s thoughts and experiences to consider before
purchasing one.

Thanks,
