Uhm,  I think I should describe the pasta maker.  It doesn't really
extrude the pasta like a meat grinder extrudes ground beef.  It cannot be
used to make macaroni, or any other hollow pasta.  It can be used to
"roll" the pasta dough to the desired thickness, and can then be fed
through some "cutters" to slice the pasta to the desired width (either
fettucine or spaghetti widths).  It doesn't appear that hard to use.  It
definitely could be used to make the pasta for ravioli which you could
then fill and fold by hand.
