Fox F28-186 Bandsaw Help Please

<< < (5/7) > >>

Katchin:
well, dave has confirmed that my bandsaw is great at looking like a bandsaw, but not great at being a bandsaw! So I guess I need a new one  >:(

Andy Coates:
Sorry to hear that, Katchin. Dave's a good man and will have given you the best advice you could have. At least now you won't be risking injury by trying to use a faulty machine.

Is it new and under guarantee?

Katchin:
yes thankfully, hopefully poolewood / serracon will be speedy at swapping it out

Dave Atkinson:
Pleasure to meet you on Saturday John.

I hope you get it sorted out. 

We started from scratch and tried everything but it's just not right (it doesn't look square for a start) and not only that when we did turn it on it didn't go round much faster than I could turn it by hand - we tried cutting a piece of 1/2" pine and managed to stop the blade after an 1"  ???

I'm sure Poolewood will sort it out for you.  I've dealt with Terry before and found him to be very helpful.  not only that but you have a statutory right to a replacement machine or your money back as it's simple not fit for purpose.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers Dave

Katchin:
well, new saw just arrived, lets hope this one works a little better!
