I actually have two FT Cornerpro 5700 machines and a brand new Itw Amp. We have used the two Cornerpro machines for years and they are great pinners. I wanted to try out the Itw machine so I bought a new one last December and it is our main pinner now. I can't say it is in any way better, just newer. I am liquidating a few pieces of equipment so I can purchase a 64" roller laminator. New toys!!
