You can be sure I&#8217;ll be keeping you in the loop on this one since those black streaks are such a pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">First impressions&#8230; beautiful, sturdy, high quality feel out of the box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Comes with a strong C-clamp that has a metal thumb screw. This is a big improvement over the very breakable, plastic design on lower quality pasta machines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The crank handle is made of what feels like a strong metal. I mentioned in the video that the handle insert slot appeared to be a title loose&#8230; and that it may need tightening with my Pasta Machine Rubber Glove Trick (see resource link further down on this page)&#8230; but based on further useage, I found that the handle did stay put and works just fine as is. Yay!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There is a clamp hole on both sides of the machine. <em>Nice!<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The handle and gears move smooth like butter. Trust me, you can feel a huge difference between this this Atlas Machine and the less expensive Sculpey or Amaco Clay Machines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The thickness settings on this machine range from 1 at the thickest, to 9 for the thinnest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Although I did not show this in the video, here are the Playing Card Thickness measurements which correspond to the settings on this Atlas 150 Wellness Pasta Machine. 1 = 8 playing cards; 2 = 6 cards; 3 = 4 cards; 4 = 3 cards; 5 = 2 cards; 6 = 1.5 cards; 7 = 1 card; 8 = 0.75 cards; and 9 = 0.25 cards (very thin).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Clay runs through all the settings beautifully. Even sticky clay went to an extremely thin sheet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I&#8217;m in love! <em>Sorry Dougie.<\/em><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2gA0uDlzs_c?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Resource: <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/221j6ob\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Gold Marcato Atlas 150 Pasta Machine on Amazon<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=18493#video\">Black Streaks from Pasta Machine on Polymer Clay<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=17442#video\">Does Your Pasta Machine Handle Keep Falling Out<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=17472#video\">Using Playing Cards to Measure Pasta Machine Settings<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=40#video\">Pasta Machine for Clay &#8211; Maintenance and Buying Tips<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
