Anatol volt

I don't know if this is a pattern or not, but it always seems that when someone says there opinion about M&R, they take it back later in the post. I was just wondering if there was a reason for this? Do you guys get a call or message from someone? What is it that changes peoples minds?

Scott, I did not take back or retract my opinion. I did realize that the titan falls into the same category as a mini Horizon so I edited my original post (added a line to not add confusion to any of the responses). Other than that, I just clarified what I meant. I did not at any point push one press over the other.

Brandt I know you looked at Anatol, but I guess I'm one of the lucky few that bought an Anatol press and got and still gets great service from them, no I've never had to have a tech come out, yes I had minor problems, true they walk me through it over the phone, shipped parts out overnight.  I've talked with other Anatol press owners too and they love there press, but you talk about don't assume! assume my ass dude I read your hold saga during your press buying stage, it was all over digitsmith alone with Mr. we don't say his name around here, but you made your choice and I 'll say that your very happy with it, just like I would buy another Anatol.

That's totally understandable man was just asking. Just some info I looked up today.

The Titan is comparable to the Diomandback C

The horizon is comparable to the Diomandback S

The Titan and the horizon have the option to have servo index and ac heads.

Diomandback S only comes with servo no option of ac heads. According to M&R site


I am just going off what I found online. M&R might custom make these as needed.

Brandit we all know M&R makes great equipment with great after purchase service, but I wouldn't say they are the only one in the equipment market with great service.  Workhorse is well known for having great equipment and service as well.

That depends on exactly which Workhorse Tech.........

This is what was given me when I was considering a Horizon vs. Diamondback, but this was 2011 so I dont know how much of it is valid.

Just from quickly glancing at the list, #2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 are no longer correct.  #10 is a matter of opinion.

Well guys I appreciate how awesome this thread has been. I bought my diamondback 8/6 w/ a rotary screw compressor. The decision came down to the financing. Anatols financing company wouldnt go out to 72 months, wouldn't finance any extras, and wanted a picture of my garage in case they needed to repo my machine. I also live a half mile from the m&r dealers in my area so service would be right there. There were some other factors too but those were the biggest. The volt seems cool but with me being new to the auto game I didnt want to risk anything being bad about the new technology. Anatol has been great throughout this process. Steve in sales helped me out in every way possible. Aj at northstargraphix.com took alot of time to talk with me at iss and over the phone. Cant speak  highly enough about Aj. Thanks to eveyone for the help.

the part wher it is called a Diamondback is correct. Most of the rest is incorrect.

Couple things, I don't think I even used the name M&R.  I also never suggested M&R was the only one in the market with service and support.  I will be happy to suggest M&R is the best at service/support. You'd be hard pressed to argue differently. I think there are others that are "good", some that are "OK" and a few terrible.  I just know if your press stops spinning, which do you want on your side? Crap shoot or the sure thing? I know right now if my press went down M&R will be all over it. 

I spoke with several Anatol shops when I was shopping, no problem admitting most where happy with their presses, every one of them said the same thing about service and support though.  Hard to reach, hard to get the right part, service had trouble knowing what was on their press as from one model to the next or even in the same model they would change manufactures on this part or that part and getting that all figured out was always hard and so on.  That doesn't make Anatol bad, in fact I still nearly bought one even knowing all of that.

We also had Workhorse visit us, they had a more impressive set up as far as techs and support than Anatol, but IMO the presses weren't as good as M&R or Anatol at the time.  This has been a few years ago keep in mind.  Plus love it or hate this reason anything ARRRRRDUBYABBBB touched at one point I wanted nothing to do with. I found Tim at Workhorse enjoyable and spent time with him at a Workhorse install. Just felt they were not on the top of my list.  This list goes on with other presses.

I am sure I wasn't the guy that did the absolute most research before buying but I did do what I consider a really fair amount. Most time I spent on any purchase in my life period. I was at it hard for months, window shopping for years prior.

I should also say that monty and jeff with m&r and eric at gsg have done a great job of helping out as well. Looking forward to getting the press.

Congratulations on your new machine.
