I have to confess that my Charnwood(s) eventually gave way to a Record. Charnwood were quick to rectify problems, but they came thick and fast, and I feel really bad for saying that, because I loved the thing. They replaced with an updated model, and then another, and eventually they gave me back all my money. I was talking to a teacher the other day, who had brought 5 Charnwoods into the workshop and they apparently all had problems. I can't stand by without warning you though. That's what forums are for(a) :wink:
