I get really anoyed with crap from the far east. I know we all try to buy the best but sometimes we just cannot afford what we would really like. I bought a belt/disc sander under the Charnwood logo although most importers sell the same machine. Within weeks the capacitor went. The Chinese just don't know what makes a decent machine and people like record power just unload the containers as they arrive and then ship the stuff to their customers without even opening a box to see if everything is okay. I had a total of 3 record grinderrs come in as many weeks and every one was smashed. Thankfully everything in my workshop now is of a decent quality with no problems but I have had my share in the past.
