Comment of the year!
I highly caution against fully automatic ones to those who have never dealt with them. Definitely not for those who haven’t used semis.
There are many highly rated reliable semi-auto that run off a power drill or driver, or support electric and manual modes. These should be the ideal target for most scrappers. V notch pin blades work far more reliably than circular blades used in most (all?) automatics.
The pins are inexpensive to replace. And you could theoretically make your own pins or contract a machinist.
Stay away from “automatic” bench top units. They simply wire a motor in to the unit and generally you have no real speed control by using your own driver. I’ve seen and heard horror stories of flying pins. A compression blade in a true auto will roll over internal rf rings and pinched divots. Pins do not. Things you notice hand feeding a machine.
True automatics start the size of a small microwave oven.
