The term "machine" is a bit of a stretch with these, LOL. I like the ones that fit "OO" capsules, no experience with the smaller/larger sizes.
It's a simple tray that you insert the long end of the cap in. Cap by cap mind you, and there are 50 of them. Then you pour your bulk powder over it, smoothing the powder over/packing the caps. Best done with a credit or business card. Finally, you lower the tray such that enough of the long end of the cap is sticking up, and place the small end of the cap on top. Again, this is a cap by cap process.
Any way you slice it, it's time consuming and far from an automated/machine like process. Best done on a lazy Saturday/Sunday afternoon, while watching TV IMO. Still, if you're game it brings the cost WAY down of capping specialty items...
Hope that helps Brain!
