Does anyone have experience with them? I understand the stuff comes from China and wouldn't be great for day to day use in a metal shop, but for the occasional use for a metal shaping newbie like me I'm wondering if it's worth it.

Looks to be the same as Harbor Freight. They can be made to work. Looks like the PA also comes with the bottom dies. Those are extra with the HF wheel.

Drill a hole in it and fill it with non shrinking grout and weld the hole back up. Takes the flex right out of them.
