The Martin Yale 400 jogger is Vibratory Polishing Media Factory

The Martin Yale 400 jogger is Vibratory Polishing Media Factory an entry level machine and as such you

will find that it lacks some of the features that larger more expensive

joggers offer. Chief among these is that there is no way to adjust the

bin angle or the speed at which it vibrates. With the 400, all you get

is an on and off switch. While this makes the machine very easy to use,

it also cuts down on its versatility in handling different stocks and

sizes. Most larger, more expensive machines also give the user the

capability to make adjustments to reduce the level of vibration that is

put out by the machine. We sort of missed that when testing the 400.

The 400 has a jogging bin that is designed to accept letter sized

paper. That means that you can use it with smaller sheets, but you

can't put anything larger in the bin. The angle that the bin sits at

also make it a little difficult to use with standard number ten

envelopes, as they are not the easiest to get to when they are at the

bottom of the tray. As is typical for all paper joggers,

you will need to ensure that you set the machine on a sufficiently

strong and stable surface. In fact, we recommend that you use a table

that is able to easily withstand 500lbs to help keep vibrations to a

minimum. You may even want to look into putting the table on an extra

carpet piece or a rug in order to keep the machine from vibrating its

surroundings too much. As we said, this is true for all paper joggers

and is no reason not to purchase the Martin Yale 400.
