how long was the warranty DB only 12 months ? So the thicknesser doesn't get much use if you only logged a few hours on it
presume that model was discontinued as it was a load of garbage

Pabs, what model/Capacity are yours? I have been contemplating such a machine, would be good to get opinion from someone who is actively using one.Originally Posted by pablopepper
I have the BP-14a and the BP-16a. 14" and 16" wide throat.
The only issue I've had with these machines is the switches are rubbish, but an easy swap out. And the placement of the switch on the 16" is poorly thought out. Had to jimmy up a guard so we didn't bump it off regularly.

Nice. Don't know if the budget will stretch that far! (Or I could hold onto my budget until it will I guess!)I have the BP-14a and the BP-16a. 14" and 16" wide throat.

Much of the machinery coming into Aus is from the same makers in China, re-branded for the importer. I worked for (now out of business) Glenfords for a few years and that Hafco band saw is the same as the Glenfords "Rexon" brand, our main competitor in Qld sold the same stuff in a different colour as their own brand. A tip...always check the wiring on these Chinese tools before switching them on. I've seen too many dodgy factory soldering jobs, like making a bridge of solder because the wire was too short! or no solder at all, just wires twisted together!
And for todays Tool Porn...
First tool chest is the famous Studley tool chest, every woodies dream..
For those of us 'on the level', see if you can spot the hidden and not so hidden symbols of the craft
Second tool cest is by an unknown maker, sometime in the early 1900's.
Anyone got a spare $150,000?
If so, it could be yours......
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Not only would I love the tools, but also the knowledge and skill to use them all correctly!
We don't see any hidden symbols.
Scott.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
